4ADT clutch arm/pedal chatter

Post by Grantbradley »

My clutch arm and pedal make quite a noise when the clutch pedal is fully released.
Put slight pressure on the pedal and the chatter stops.
The throwout bearing is new and the arm appeared good. Thoughts?
Thank you

Can you identify where the noise is coming from ? meaning inside the bell housing or at the arm itself ? it is possible the arm has too much slop at the pivot point and causing a rattle. The fact that when you put the clutch in the noise stops, implies its not the throwout bearing.

I am wondering if my clutch return spring is too strong and is pulling the arm back off of the pivot?
