I bled the clutch system (took forever because the master got air bound and I didn’t know that was a thing), and it took probably 80% of the violent chattering & shaking away.
So, I figured I’d start next with the tranny mount and hope that takes even more of the chatter away. It did improve the shifting (especially downshifting), and moderately improved driveline lash, but there was still some chattering going on.
I was starting to get really happy at the thought of having a derivable vehicle (my truck, which my wife drives is also in all sorts of disrepair). Well, just last night I went on a quick drive (1/4 to 1/2 mi) and the clutch started slipping. Just confirmed this morning before going to work, I can put it in first gear with the handbrake on, and it doesn’t even bog… Everything in that clutch assembly is new and was replaced by that shop 5,300 mi ago.
The new stiffer tranny mount couldn’t do this, could it?
P.S. I couldn’t find the second pin to the assist spring for the clutch pedal, so that’s not back in yet.
Rick,
Thank you. I will order the parts and hopefully report back within a couple weeks granted I get some time to work on it.
Rick,
Thanks for your response.
For the pedal – I was aware of that TSB, which is actually why I replaced all those components; I had also figured I was bleeding it incorrectly which is why I had the shop try that too. He removed the assist spring (which he said only helps push the clutch in), but never mentioned anything about a return spring – is that something that doesn’t come stock? Considering all this, would you still suggest the replacement components I put in are of poor quality and that’s causing the pedal to behave funky?
Chattering – I will definitely look into those mounts. As far as poor surfacing of the flywheel – I suppose it’s possible, but I had him put a new one in, rather than resurfacing it. Same goes with all the other clutch components. I found the tranny mount which listed support for my car, but when I looked up the engine mounts it doesn’t list my car; would the engine mounts for an 02 WRX definitely fit my 01 Forester?
