Title: Clutch Noise
Post by: Andy T on November 19, 2003, 02:18:12 PM
I have a performace clutch (not sure which one) but it is making a funny grinding scraping noise when pulling away slowly.

Is this something to be worried about ?

No, performance clutches are metalic so usually make a sort of shimmy grating noise

because our bloody websweeper software has deemed it non-work content, and every proxy site I sue gets spotted and banned as well, though this site still works atm
, touch wood :)

Can get on at home but never have a chance really, and its too hard going through all the posts :(

not fair
