Can't take the noise anymore. Trans TB issue???

[ac66bronco]

OK the noise came back last week and I have had enough of it.

I narrowed it down to the trans tbearing because when I push the clutch in it goes away and all is well.

It is an f23 with exedy stage one clutch and exedy lw flywheel.

the tb was replace less than 2k miles ago.

it sounds like a rattling/whirring/knockingh noise.

Any ideas?

would the zzp adj master cylinder fix it???

imho, its the exedy clutch. well known. change clutch to GM noise will go away. How do I know? Changed two transmissions before Area47 said " you goof its the exedy heypersingle, they rattle. Ricers do it all the time "

so is there anything wrong with it? or is it just loud?

if there is a danger to more issues i will get rid of it asap but i cant affored to do it right now.

its just loud, there is nothing wrong with it, thats just how it is, the cltch is the reason it sound slike that....its a common side effect of running a performance clutch, i use have stgII excedy on my balt...it makes noises at idle...push in the clutch it wil go away...hell, my F40 trans saab does the same on a cold winter start...no biggie, nothing is wrong

mine does the same thing...i have the clutchmaster stage 3 in mine tho...my friends always ask if my car is gonna break and im like hell no just has an aftermarket clutch in it

[ac66bronco]

ok i guess i will just deal with the noise.

thanks guys.

side note. when the clutch went in the tb was replaced then and it only lasted aprox 25-30k miles. hope i dont have to do that again

I used to have the exedy stage one and lw flywheel on my f23, the noise is totally normal. I had my setup on for 25000 miles only switched cause it couldn't handle power I have now. If you don't mind stiff and noisy it's a great setup. For reference my friends could always hear the flywheel before my exhaust when I drove up. In fact I miss this setup greatly!!! PS I know powell wont like this, but I had the adj clutch rod on mine, liked it, but it will not rid of noise. It will only let you pull the engagement up off the floor, mine was really tough to drive during breakin, but you get used to it

I have had it in for a long time when the tb was replaced the noise went away but then came back which alarmed me because i was thinking ofh great here goes another 600 bucks.

glad its all normal noise tho. I have never had any issues with it only engaging slightly off the floor. in fact i can drive it and shift it like a stock clutch. now the use of the word FIRM is an understatment. But i dont notice it anymore.
