crazy loud noise!!!
I just bought an exedy stage 2 cerametallic clutch and had my mechanic put it in my evo 8. I drove it home and it seemed fine, a little whining noise but nothing crazy. I took it out for a spin later on and the clutch started making a very much louder noise it gets worse as i speed up. Also i can get it to take off before 2500 rpm's is that normail?
Did my mechanic messed up?
Is there enough oil in there? (I put in 3 quarts of redline)
Please help guys i had to park my cark at a friend's house overnight becuase i'm scared it might be the tranny, or the clutch not being aligned right.
This is the worst noise i have ever heard on my evo, nothing compared to the noises from the vids on youtube.
All i did was a 5000 rpm launch on the road before the noise got worse.

I do have some clutch noise on my evo too but its only when its not in gear, its considered normal since I have a 6 puck from rps but you do know you need to have some sort of break in like 500 or so miles depending on the material

It wasn't really a launch, it was just about 4500 rpms, becuase i can't get it to move past 2500 rpms and my foot slipped a bit :/ . But that is when the noise got worse.

Did your mechanic tell you to allow 500 miles for break-in? FWIW - driving on the freeway wouldn't be considered break-in. You'd want to drive normal with plenty of shifting for obvious reasons. Let us know how it goes tomorrow and did you let him know you did a partial launch?

a lot of people that I've talked to say in town driving is best for breaking in a new clutch, when you say it won't move, do you mean like that its slipping? does the rpm free rev then catch a bit?

Could be whine associated with the t-case. If he put the wrong fluid in there it could make that sound and progressively get worse. I am not sure why it won't take off before 2500 rpm's though.
