Added NVH or Issue

[devildog1679]

I’m probably just being paranoid but I have two questions. I am getting a clicking sound every time I engage and disengage the clutch could this be the pressure plate, it’s coming directly below me and just a little forward. I installed the MGW shifter so I’m guessing it’s just added NVH. Also, prior to adding the MGW I started to hear a clunking sound from the rear but only when changing gears, basically when the new gear engaged I heard this clunk. The noise started after I installed BMR LCA’s. Before the install I can’t recall if the sound was there and if it was it was probably minimal. It doesn’t do it every time, if I shift at higher RPM’s it’s not there it’s mainly in the lower range. I took it to the dealer and they said everything seemed fine. I have been told this is normal drivetrain slop, and probably made louder by the LCA’s. It’s gotten louder with the MGW probably due to the stiffer bracket as well. The car still shifts great it’s just that damn sound, if it’s normal drive train slop from the rear and normal pressure plate engagement and disengagement noise from the front than I’m fine with it. Any Ideas?

do the lca have spherical rod ends? if so they do clunk/ click under certain driving

Mine started it after the MGW install also. I chaulked it up to NVH.

Barton here.... Same thing.....

Same thing here with the Barton bracket and poly lower control arms...

Could the clicking noise be a clutch switch on the pedal assembly? Have you listened closely with the engine off?

This isn't the click we here. It's for sure coming from the bell housing area of the trans...

Mine did the same, post install of UPR upper and lower rear control arms.

Nope just poly. From the sounds of it, it's pretty normal then considering the stiffer lca's and shifter bracket. If I drive like a granny's can avoid the clunk from the rear.

No, it's definitely coming from slightly forward of the shifter and low. With engine off it makes no noise, only when running.

I definitely have the clunk from the rear end after the MGW but no clicking.

 

[devildog1679]

The clicking is definitely only when engaging and dis- engaging the clutch with car on. Does when moving and when in park.

The MGW shifter is noisier than stock in my experience with shifting it. It's the shifter that is noisy for me. I get no other 'clunk' or noise. I never got any kind of tranny or other noises comming from the center console area anyway and still don't.

The clicking that can be heard from opeating the clutch is somewhat mysterious. The clutch is hydraulic so there is somewhat less moving parts that could make noise. So, I would check the pedal area for something loose on or around it. Then, check around the clutch cylinder area including checking the fluid level. Maybe it needs to be bled? I don't know, just throwin' things out there.

It's your LCA's transmitting the differential noise.

??? lol you mean when parked??

my 2012 is bone stock and makes a slight click type sound when i engage/disengage the clutch. it's normal.

Caught that it's definitely not coming from the pedal area. It's coming from beneath the shifter slightly forward.

 

[Xorak]

yep, it's either the throw out bearing or input shaft and is completely normal.
