Weird Sound From Clutch - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

sma96 · 11-27-2021, 08:08 AM

Clutch making noise from underneath car when turned off, does not sound like throwout bearing (gravel in jar) but sounds more like a creaky door hinge. What could it be and what would you recommend I do? Car has just over 22k miles and I am pretty good with taking care of it and not abusing it (a few spirited drives here and there but I average 32 MPG highway and this is my daily). 2017 86 by the way so still under powertrain/drivetrain warranty. I have attached an Imgur link with a video clip of the sound and my clutch pedal if it helps. Thank you I really do appreciate the feedback!

I would start by greasing the clutch fork. My 86 did/does this. Went away with some grease, but will come back and need to be relubed.

Pretty simple process, @Ultramaroon I recall had a post with step by step guide.

lol. Yes yes I am.

Well, then, welcome to the gang. -

Iffen greasing up the clutch fork don't quiet it down, you might try giving that spring up under the clutch linkage a shot of silicone spray (or coal oil - since it sounds like a rusty back screen door spring on a hot summer night.

The clutch linkage? Can you post a photo if where this spring is? And thank you all. My main concern is that I really hope this isn’t the throwout bearing since that would either cost me hella money or half the money (need to buy my own set of tools since I just moved) and hella time.

throwout bearings don't really make noise when the motors off. they like to make a racket when the motors running and forcing them into service against their will.

they're more like a jerry springer episode. they don't fall apart when everything is calm and peaceful. they start throwing chairs from the edge of the stage while everyone's focused on the main event.

look for a link to the service manuals in my sig line. Don't be intimidated. Get a friend to push the clutch while you're looking under the hood. You'll figure it out a lot faster that way than you will just asking internet randos if we're sure we know what we're talking about.

Since when did we EVER claim we knew what we were talking about -

Well, I hear tell the spring is hooked into the clutch arms under the dash and it assists the clutch in being pushed down (or returning).

Now, the screen door sound thing came from my friend Bubba. Yes, his single-wide mobile home has a screen door -

I have never seen that spring myself ...... because, if I ever were to get my head under the dash, someone would have to call for a "jaws of life" to get me out.

That's why asking if I'm sure is an even bigger waste of time. "Yeah, I'm sure it's the same sound." Ok, now what?
