Okay so i just got an exedy stage 1 clutch and act light weight flywheel installed about 2 months ago

and for the past week when im downshifting into 2nd im getting like a grind and scraping noise... which also makes it really hard to downshift..

im also experiencing a slight grinding noise coming form either under the hood or somewhere right below me i can also feel a slight vibration in my pedal when it happens

the noise only happens every once in a while just for a second or two


PLEASE ANYONE HELP ME OUT IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO IT...!!!

Adjust your pedal and bleed the clutch. Any kind of grind is not normal and not good. It doesn't take much to jack things up. Fix it immediately.

Anyone else have any idea of whats going on??

Sounds like your clutch is dragging and not fully disengaging. Adjust your clutch pedal and bleed the system as suggested above.

Also... unless you track the crap out of your car your fluid should be fine.... as long as the correct fluid was used in the first place. Didn't you replace the fluid when the clutch was done? Be sure whoever did the work used the right stuff. I recommend using only factory fluids.

Okay thanks Jeff i didn't do it myself i had a local evo/sti shop do it for me but i guess im going to take it back to them because i cant figure out the problem myself

Don't let them charge you for the adjustment. The car never should have left the shop with a grind of any kind.
