new clutch and new noises

[chris142]

Had to replace my clutch. The throw out bearing died. Found the pilot bearing disintegrated,springs in the disc broken etc. Turned the flywheel,new luk clutch set and put it back together.

Now I have a weird rattle sound @ idle and low rpms I never had before. Ideas?

with the clutch in or out?

 

[chris142]

Clutch engaged.

Really rattly below 1500 rpm or so.

Like when idling up to a light or slowing up to a light.

rattle tells me something isnt tight.
ive got about 800 miles on my throwout, and she squeals a bit....
inspection cover? maybe you bent the keepers on the clutch fork and its making some noise?

 

[IDIoit]

wiggle the fork, see if it sounds the same

The throw out bearing has a plastic collar. The old one was metal if that matters.

Did the cutch disc get changed from SD to HD? I've been down that road...

 

[chris142]

I dunno.I just ordered what fit the truck. Whole clutch kit was only $169

How many springs in the hub of the friction disc? Here are photos of what I found. the disc with the fewer, larger springs, is marketed as a HD clutch, and causes TONS of rollover noise, but doesn't really hurt anything. The disc with more, smaller springs makes it as silent as the original DMF setup. I took out the "HD" clutch disc and installed the standard duty disc to quiet mine down.

As a side note, if anyone needs, I have a complete SMF clutch kit, with the HD Disc, available for sale. You could buy only the standard disc and make the upgrade on the cheap.

It looks like the one on the right. Just like the one I pulled out.

I'd bet this explains mine. Sounds like nothing to worry about. Greased up my throw out bearing too though while the engine was out, just to be sure.

Hope the OP figures out why his acted up

The one on the left is the standard duty that I installed to eliminate my noise. The one on the right is the heavy duty one that made all the noise. You can see the standard duty has a total of 10 springs, while the HD has 8. Hope that helps some.

If what came out is identical to what went in, then my theory is shot, and I'd guess it's something else. Any chance the flywheel is hitting the dust shield? I've run into that too.
