Rattling noise from clutch area at highway speeds (1 Viewer)

[Stooge69]

Hi all,

I recently had my input shaft bearing, throwout bearing, pilot bearing and my clutch disk and pressure plate changed and i am now hearing a very annoying rattling sound when i accelerate at higher speeds (50-100kmph).To me it doesnt sound like bearing noise, before i had everything replaced there was a very audible tick in neutral that went away when the clutch pedal was pressed, now there is no noise in neutral with clutch pedal in or out and the car drives fine.

My thought was it is something to do with the throwout bearing preload and the bearing isnt sitting snug between the pressure plate and clutch fork but i dont know how to fix this, i have adjusted the clutch pedal correctly but this hasnt fixed it. And yes i know i should take it back to the mechanic who did the work but its a huge inconvenience at the moment because he is so far away from me and i need the car for work. I have inspected the gearbox and transfer case as much as i can and cant see anything loose.

The car is a 1997 DX HZJ80

Sounds like it should go back even if it's a pain.
Did you ring the mechanic? What did they say?

If it changes with vehicle speed, may not be the clutch at all.
The clutch doesn't know if the engine and input shaft is doing 3000rpm in 1st gear, or in 4th gear

It doesnt necessarily change with speed i just usually first notice it when im on the freeway and the engine has heated up, after that it seems to happen at around the same rpm no matter the speed (no tacho in the dx so dont know the exact rpm) and yeah iv messaged the mechanic and he just said to bring it in for him to have a look at (btw your a legend for replying to all my threads i appreciate it)

Well it seems that it’s going to need to come apart again one way or another!

Better get it back to the mechanic
