    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Ticking from clutch

When cold I take off & then when I release the throttle & coast I get a ticking noise which stops as soon as I pull the clutch in....

It seems to dissapear when the engine is warm. It has been there since I got back from Yosemite/Reno trip & didn't go with an oil change. Has not get any worse though over the last 1,000 miles.

Any thoughts? I have EBC springs in there, I measured the plates & the fibre disks are on 50%. It's a stock clutch I believe. I haven't had the cover off since the noise started, will prob do so at the next oil change.

There is a small roller bearing on the pressure plate. I had one go bad once and it had a whirring-ticking sound.
If not try tightening the clutch nut, check the bearing behind the clutch hub.
If it stops when you apply clutch I'd say you have clutch wobble from a loose clutch hub nut, bad rivets on the backing plate-starter gear or the springs are loose on the back of the clutch hub. It could be as simple as your clutch spring bolts loosening up.
 
Thanks Bill.

That's what I was hoping, just having to tweak those bolts.... how tight should they go? I seem to remember being a bit worried about that when i fitted the new springs.

Tighten them till snug. Manuals give a tourque but that is worthless if you have aftermarket springs. :-D
