Default Clutchmaster FX400 owners, question for you.

Hello! I have a question for the Clutchmasters FX400 owners. I have had my clutch on my car for over a year now, and its always sounded a bit like a cement mixer at idle and @ low speeds ... Ive heard that this is normal, but I just wanted to verify with a few more owners. It has been bothering me as I have been driving my car a bit more lately.

Anyways, thanks for any feedback!

Aaron

Not sure if this helps but i had the OS Giken Super single clutch flywheel combo and it had a low cement mixer sound at idle, but under load in first you could hear it loudly for second till it came up to speed. I was told al light weight flywheels make this sound.

Normally the light weigth flywheels is what makes that sound. My FX400/JWT Flywheel combo is just fine granted I am most likely use to the sound.

Tilton flywheel?

I hear it with my Nismo, either it has gotten better or I don't notice/care anymore. I hate the sound when you kick in the clutch while the engine is loading up and it sounds like it is bouncing around in the trans....all Z's make this noise though
