I already replace my transmission fluid.
Is it normal to have this sound when the engine is in idle mode?
When ever i step on the clutch it seems that the sound disappear.

Is this related to transmission problem?


Also, what is the easiest solution to make my clutch smooth/soft to step on? mine is a little bit hard?

Im considering to replace my clutch pedal with the one that that has bracket from race roots, mine has crack already. Does replacing the pedal will solve my 2nd problem?


Pardon my ignorance, i already did my research but i cant find any direct answer.

My laptop doesn't have the greatest speakers, but it sounded like your typical gear rollover sound to me (which is normal).

OK, thank you sir, problem number 1 fixed.

Ah yes... this was a "two parter"...
Without being there is person to judge the "hardness" of your pedal, its difficult to say for sure.
One possibility is if the clutch pedal assembly is crack/fractured, the push rod could be rubbing inside the master cylinder since it'll be at a slight angle.
You already mentioned reinforcing the pedal, which is a good thing regardless.
I would take a peak at the upper-left area (around the stud/nut) and see if there are signs of fractures.

that sound is normal.

You said ur pedal has crack, you might want to stop driving it, take it out, take some pics, file a complaint at NHTSA (search for my thread over pedal issue) then buy a new one, or get some reinforced one from BHR. and reinstall it back.

Hopefully it will fix my 2nd problem

Mine makes that sound too, not the squeaking tho. I thought it was my throwout bearing, perhaps I'm mistaking.

Winning 8

is the factory throwout bearing just can't keep up with the 9000 rpm.
