Clutch noise

[Scott R]

I'm about at the end of 911 ownership after today. I needed my SC since one of my other cars is down for maintenance. Anyway, clutch in I get a rattle from the tunnel, clutch out in neutral I get nothing. Shifts perfectly through all gears.

The 915 is a fresh professional rebuild I think less than 1k miles on it. Clutch is new, it's a Pelican SACHS kit, same mileage as the transmission. Everything was balanced during the engine and trans rebuild, flywheel, clutch, plate.

Am I losing my TO bearing? Should I stop driving it? I've had a few fun miles when the weather was nice recently, and now that the carbs and ignition are done it's a nice ride. I just hate to tear it all down again for nothing. I'm hoping one of you guys will say it sounds normal.

FWIW, here's my opinion.... I had the same noise for a couple of years... decided to do my clutch one weekend because it had 75K miles on it and i do LOTS of track events.

I replaced everything except the TO bearing (don't ask why.. it just worked out that way ). Anyhow, I put it all back together, perfect clutch, same noise. I just ignore it. I have solid engine/transmission mounts so the noise is probably worse in my car...

Thanks for the reply, I'm going to just drive it. Enough with this constant tinkering that I'm doing.
