Clutch noise!

[speed]

hey guys i decided to start up the gtr today since it was such a nice day,
the car had been idleing for about 15 mins and then i was pushing the clutch pedal and it was
making a noise like a (pinging) sound! anyone know what this noise is or is it just because the car
is cold? or is it normal having a racing clutch?

any input or have had the same issue before?

Probably your release bearing. Try replacing that in when bringing the car out for daily driving

[speed]

Damn I hope it's not major but changing the release bearing is how much is that goin to cost!?
I still have to bleed the clutches line before driving it

[cschepp]

Well you'll need the tranny out to do it. I would say labor in 4-500$. You would be better off to change your clutch well your there

What kind of clutch is it? If its a multi disk clutch they always make a rattling sound when the peddle is depressed.

Did it make the noise before you parked it?

[speed]

no it didnt make any noise before parking!
but i guess if it keeps goin ill have to do it after this season or before summer hits!
but if anything ill just put in a new clutch kit!

[speed]

btw any of idea if its neccessary to change it right away or have a month or 2 before changing it?

[speed]

my nismo twin makes noise when the clutch pedal is NOT depressed and goes silent when it is depressed... i think thats normal, if its making noises when it is depressed u probably have issues...

yah i ask few of my buddies that have mustangs with aftermarket clutches and race cars and they told to drive it for a good 1 or 2 weeks to see if its just moisture from being stored for awhile so im, going to drive it for a week or so to see if it goes away or not!
if still noisy wen depressed den i will change the bearing or just put a new clutch kit!

Check your clutch slave cylinder.

My cars made that sound for the last 4 years with no clutch problems.

I'm sure it's just something from storing It. If its not effecting the function of the clutch then I wouldn't worry too much.
