Is it normal for quite alot of clutch judder and a squeeky noise on engagement? Seems to only happen above 2500rpm...Maybe the thrust bearing??

The car seems to be an orchestra of sounds....Straight cut gears, dump valve and now the squeel of the paddle clutch!

My paddle clutch took a bit of getting used to when i first got it. but i was told they are more like like an on/off switch. Edited by minimole on 20th May, 2006. |

Theres definitely a very small amount of slip, enough to make a slow set off a quiet one...Just!

This all sounds odd, Ive run 3 paddle plates over the last 7 years and never had any squeal or judder.
I seriously doubt it! |

So if it is normal for paddle clutches to squeel, then what is it that is causing the noise?

In my experience, the noise always disappears if you add a couple of squirts with decent synthetic oil on the plate. I've never had a problem with noise after this tbh. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

I see...But is what causing this noise? I'm baffled by the fact that the likes of MED are not aware of any squeel noise with the paddle clutch, yet quite a few guys here clearly do have squeel...What is causing it?

i have thought about this and decided that the only logical explaination is clutch faries are the cause, the squeel as they are squished. Edited by minimole on 24th May, 2006. |
