What causes wining noises? I got this wining noise after i got my new ats carbon carbon clutch installed. I just wanted to know if this is my clutch or if its the transfer case or diffs or transmission.

 

i got the same problem since I installed my Act Clutch, i think its the TC and Mitsu refuses to Warranty it!!

 

oh if its the tc could it be from a install f*** up? I do drive my car hard but it was like that when i got it back and been like that for 3 weeks.

 

Most likely. The TC usually goes right after a clutch install because of the extra grabbing power of the new clutch. If it's the TC, you can get a new one the cheapest through Mitsuparts.com. Happened to me. Those things are expensive, and they can't be thoroughly repaired yet, so just get a new one and put Redline Heavy Antishock Oil in it and make sure to slip your new clutch from now on. Sucks, huh?

It'll be about 2 grand, all in all. Sorry.

 

My Evo had this noise after my clutch was installed and mitsu installed it...but after about 3 weeks of driving...it went away...could be good or bad

 

should i just buy a new tc asap or wait for this one to break then buy a new one? btw buschur racing has tc's for close to 1900.

 

Mitsuparts.com OEM Evo 8 TC = $1,713.28

80 bucks shipping, had it here in 5 business days.

Just in case you don't want to go through what I did for the best price.

I suppose you could get one now, and have Shephard Racing beef it up for you (I understand they can do that with a new part), but that's only if you have no other need for the money. Your call -- it could make you look like the sharpest tack in the box (but only if your TC does indeed go).

 

can they beef up the one i have thats on its last leg right now?

 

Not sure, probably--- you could give them a call tommorow, I guess. I've still got the first one I chewed up and I'm planning on sending it to them to repair and beef up once they get the replacement parts for it (which still hasn't happened yet).

 

What will happen when it completly brakes? Will it just not move anywhere?

 

It will just whine REALLY LOUD at highway speeds, whether the clutch is in or not, kinda like a fire engine. When I blew mine, apparently I blew the teeth right off of the pinion gear, so I never had a "grinding" phase, but it sure sounded like I was driving a Russian tractor at low speeds.

The evo will still move just fine even though it may not be transferring any torque to one of the front wheels, but there's every possibility that something worse might result.

 

The reason the TC sounds louder after a clutch install is because it directs more harmonic noise into the drivetrain than the stock clutch. My exedy twindisk came with a peice of paper saying just that. It whines badly but has several 6,500rpm tire roasting launches on it, and countless 5,700rpm dragstrip launches on it.

 

okay well i drove the **** out of it trying to break the tc tonight and it didnt happen.....I guess its the clutch well whatever it is i guess ill just fix when it does break

 

Are you sure it's not your girlfriend because you spent all your moolah on a clutch and not her jewelry?

 

lol nah its not that
