Violent shake/clunking. Bogs down RPM's. broken/loose bolt?

I'm about 70% sure you broke your pressure plate bro!!! And or your driveshaft....imma lay money down on this so when you see me again you can pay up LOL.

Seriously though...go look really well at your inspection holes in the trans!!!

As said before clutch pedal sticking to ground has to be clutch related. Trans wouldn't make that happen.

If your master is bad (if it leaks, then its bad...) then you need to replace that. That may be a good start.

LOL keep it simple. And get pics

do you notice a rather alarming vibration when reved in neutral with the clutch out?

i cannot get the noise to replicate itself on demand, its arbitrary at this point.



As for the rest of the comments/helpers/followers i'm looking at the car around 5 today maybe 6. If anything is obvious ill take some pics of whats going on. I may just snap some for the heck of it, maybe someone will see something i don't.

Results of inspection: Nothing. Pics and Video below. All the fingers seem evenly spaced. Nothing broken. No signs of 'hitting'. No bolts are loose. Attempted prying the flywheel and no motion.

my fidanza fw, rps pp (same as yours) and 6 puck talks to me a bit. any chance its just normal noises or is this DEFIANTLY new?


mine HATES to be slipped, R is a bitch, and creeping up a lift is just plain stupid hard... makes some eyebrow raising noises when i slip it for to long or get it really hot. First drives in the morning makes some interesting sounds like a squeal here or there and a thud or knock every now and then depending on how i drive.

My RPS HATES to be slipped as well. It only takes about 3 or 4 seconds of slipping to cause a nasty grinding noise. This is normal though for me.

I have a feeling this problem is as easy as it seems: bad clutch master.


while this doesn't make much sense being in neutral and hearing the noise, It makes sense for everything else.

I have a feeling when i slam it into seconds and i have issues, its not second or another gear, its SLAMMING the clutch pedal causing the seal to blow temporarily which in turn left my pedal at the floor and the clutch having enough pressure to break the clutch disk loose but still grab on and off HARD. As you know how hard the RPS clutch grabs, you know how it can shake the whole car with little effort and too quick of a foot release.

Only problem is my new master is all the way in PA. I should be able to make it back no problem as it works fine otherwise. It must be on edge at this point.

That's damn dangerous bro.. Drive safe.

i mean unles someone can suggest checking something else, i'm not sure what else i can do. Honestly its 98% highway anyway which involves almost no shifting. I never have to change gears on the highway unless i'm getting on and off.

Just replace the hydraulics, It's a good thing to do anyway, to have new stuff there. After that, if it still makes the noise, you may have to look at the tranny, even if you don't want to believe it. P.S. As for driving with no clutch, if you temporarily disable the clutch safety switch, you can start from a dead stop in first, and then drive clutch free until you have to stop again. Shut the car off, and start it in first again. I've done this successfully with my stepson's NA, on two occasions, and had no issues with it.

New noise: Seems in first and in cold i've developed a whining noise. This noise is very similar to that if you used power steering fluid instead of ATF fluid. I thought it was the PS yesterday since it was low however i noticed it was just first gear. The sound is also similar to the same whine you hear when you get a little speed in reverse gear.

Last time i hear this sound in a gear in a toyota transmission it slipped into park while driving.....not good necessarily.
