I have put in a stage 2 F1 Racing clutch. It came with a throw out bearing so I replaced the old one. It's making a loud roaring noise is this normal? Also when the car drifts it falls on it's face almost goes dead, what could cause this?

 

Full tank of gas when "drifting"? I would replace my intank fuel filter.... That often causes stalling/hiccups while turning at higher speeds.

I wonder if you put the throwout bearing in backwards..

 

Putting it in backwards? Thats possible? Naw it had a half tank of 93 grade gas. I would so feel like a moron if we put that in backwards.

 

yes it is possible to put the disk in backwards. the hat (the part that sticks out in the center) on the clutch disc hub, should be facing the pressure plate side, if that helps any. also did you replace the pilot bearing?

 

i think we put the disc on right its the throw out bearing we think thats making all the noise it shifts find had to adjust the clutch pedal but other than that its fine

 

did the new throw out bearing have any play, and did it spin freely?

 

Not that I know of. It looked good.

 

yea, idk then. when does the car make the noise... while in gear or your foot is on the clutch pedal?

 

dump the 93, stick w/87

 

I have a 88 and it does it while pushing in the clutch.

 

well if you are pushing the clutch pedal its most likely your pilot bearing. most of the time they tend to make noise while you are pushing pedal to the floor. also, did you lubricate the release sleeve? i hope this helps.

 

Yea lubed everything.

 

plain and simple sounds like u used an ebay clutch with aftermarket cheap pilot and throw out bearing.. anything can be causing the noise...

I think its the pilot bearing.

 

The bearing that is in the middle of the fly wheel right?

 

yes sir... you should have replaced the bearing and the bushing..

 

kk im going to tear it back down and look at it

 

could it be bearing in the trans?

 

the pilot bearing; you kinda gotta make sure its in there well... and correctly. also, this might be a dumb question, but did you top off your gear fluid? and did you say you got a new flywheel? if not, did you get your old one machined?

 

naw not machined some friends of mine said that i should have to should i have ?

 

yea, whenever you put in a new clutch you should put a new flywheel in or resurface your old one.

 

93 octane gas in a non turbo? You have more money than sense, eh?

93 grade is way way way too high for a non turbo. You will make more HP using 86 or 87 octane.
