There's a switch on the clutch peddle, where the peddle has to be pushed all the way to the floor before the motor will start, maybe you just knocked it out of adjustment when you put the new clutch in..
If you have driven 26,000 without a problem I doubt it's related to the clutch replacement, but I think we need more info here.
Does the car make the noise multiple times during one trip (on and off as you start and stop)?
Can you hear it when you are parked in your driveway? The best thing to do would be to get out of the car when you hear the noise, pop the hood, and try to locate which part of the engine it is coming from. Then we can move on from there.
Hi,
That sounds like you have a problem in the pressure plate!
Go to the nearest garage and pull down the transmission to replace the clutch assembly.
But if you could get the warranty from the one who replace the clutch, inquire about it.
Mostly the mechanic would replace the clutch assembly( clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing ). So that it will be a one time job.
Either you could tow your vehicle to the nearest garage or drive it( before starting the engine put the gear to 1st and let it start, slowly at 1st gear you could drive into the nearest shop ).
Hope that helps you out!
thanks for using FixYa!
Sounds like a bad Throw Out Bearing.. Needless to say.. it has to be repaired.
Depending on mileage.. may as well replace the clutch/pressure plate.. and have he flywheel looked at.. change the tranny oil.. check the u joints.. rear end etc..
No sorry to be the bearer of bad news but i think the fingers on the clutch are worn to excess and when the clutch is depressed fully the bearing is going through the fingers of the clutch causing the noise you can hear .Eventualy it will need a new clutch which is not expensive if you do it yourself
Sounds like the forks release ams on pressure plate or release bearing b/o. In either case you have to remove tranny to repair, so you should replace clutch, pressure plate and release bearing. Especially if you have lots of mileage on vehicle.
Unfortunately, you can't really tell until you have the parts in front of you. If the clutch showed no signs of slipping in any gear, then the disk and pressure plate are probably ok. Throwout bearing troubles are usually heard as a sort of screech when the pedal is depressed. If the pressure plate is the type that has 3 fingers that are pushed by the bearing and one of the fingers was bent/broken, it would make a rattling sound. If the car has considerable miles, it might be worthwhile to replace the whole assembly even though the clutch itself seems to working well. Hope this helps!
Sounds like a clutch release bearing locked up, or pressure plate damage. In any case its obvious that the prinny has to come out and look inside to ascertain extent of damage. This major project requires the expertise and experience of a mechanic.
