I replaced the clutch in my Z with the carbonetics triple. Ever since the last race 118 miles over 125mph...the clutch has made a weird noise between shifts. It sounds like it is not fully disengaging between shifts. So I just installed a new clutch slave cylinder and asked my buddy there in parts if there was a known problem with it..he has only sold one other in the last 12 months.
So I installed it on the car and yet I get the same noise. It is only when the clutch pedal is depressed..and I am NOT talking about the "rattle" of the 3 discs. Again it sounds almost like its not fully disengaging the clutch.
I hate to have to yank the tranny again but I have limited time until the next race and it will be here before I know it...

Thoughts? Thanks in advance..

 

BTW I am NOT someone who is roasting the crap out of my tires and beating the hell out of the clutch all the time...clutch has ~10,000 miles on it.
I do heel/toe downshift and rev match, driving around town, but can't imagine that causing any issues on a 2200 dollar clutch!

 

i'm sure you've called carbonetics. what did they say?

 

Honestly no..I guess I'll try tomorrow..I just figured I'd get the whole well it must be the install etc etc since I did it myself...can't remember how many clutches I have done..although this is the first one in this Z.

 

I have had alot of experience with the Carbonetics/ATS clutches. I had the same exact issue and unfortunately it was a cracked carbon disc that was damaged on the install. I've never heard of one cracking during use though.

 

TO bearing?

Mine acted up like what you described and then started to grind in between shifts, and when releasingt the clutch. Like $10 or less but you have to drop the tranny.

 

Per our phone convo...sounds like a TO bearing going bad.
