Default Competition Clutch Stage 2

I installed this stage 2 clutch in my S yesterday. After an all day project, i took the car out and drove it.

Perfect, no noise. i drove about 10 miles city, shifting to break the clutch in.

i wake up this morning. drive to work. While driving, every time the clutch is engaged, i get some noise. Almost like it could be the clutch itself. This only happens when the clutch is engaged. I gave it a slight rev in neutral to see if the noise was still there and it's not.

The sound is almost like a rattling, but that makes it seem like a bolt is loose, but i dont think that is the case.

Has anyone experienced this?

ehh this clutch is wierd. in the morning when i go to work or when the car is cold the pedal is all loose and goes to the floor real easy. once the car warms up it gets normal. well a little stiffer than normal. but ive already changed the clutch fluid and all that but im not worried about it.

I have the same clutch and had the same noise for a while (clutch buzz). It has decreased over time. I also have the clutch pedal feel. It feels soft when I start out, but after warming it up it feels great. It's a clutch that likes the abuse in my opinion (persuades me to do it more). I also had some problems with reaally soft pedal feel when the clutch warmed up. Figured out it was my clutch line expanding and replaced it with a SS clutch line. Drives great now.

Same here ^^.

When I'm redlining through 2nd-3rd, it sometimes feel like it gets stuck. Feels like I have to use more force to pull it out of gear while shifting fast. Doesn't matter. Switching out to ACT 6 Puck soon with my mase kit. ;D
