Since this week ive got my car back with a new Fidanza alu flwheel and stage 1 exedy clutch...

When i drive in lower rpm i hear a rotating noise...not loud but i hear it...this goes away when reaching higher rpm.(is this the flywheel?)

and everytime i hit the clutch pedal there's a strange noise....like rotating/scratching..when i pull gears up...everything goes fine ,but when i release the clutch pedal (to shift) in higher rpm...the rotating scratching noise is really loud...

people outside look'in at me..like i did something wrong..(is this the clutch?)

The Mazda dealer told me ->"there's no problem with the scratching sounds,this is normal because it's new,this will pass after some miles. ride slower the first miles!"

I have a 5speed rx8 manual..to get the flywheel fitted i had to order another part(by mazda) that you'll find in an automatic rx8 because otherwise the flywheel/clutch didnt fit...,because the flywheel/clutch was made for a rx7..
fidanza usa told it is the same parts that also fit in the 8
(sorry for my bad language,i live in belgium (eur) )

 

anybody can help me with this???


my dealer tells me its normal because the disk is probably a bit too big in the beginning.

after a while it will pass..(the sound)

but i don't believe this....>>>were strange sound is ,there is a problem coming....<<<

 

Sounds they are not exactly the same.
