Not fully disengaging or something? Cause that's what it sounds like and I know that sound you are talking about when you pull it out without the clutch. Not the clunking we are on about. Not that severe. Engagement issue me thinks?I did have problems but it was sorted once the correct pressure plate was put in, it engages about 1.5" inch off the floor so it is definitely disengaging.Well at least I know the box and drive train won't blow up, but it is a bit clunky!

I can replicate the clunk and sound I think your talking about by just punching it in really fast causing the drive line to unload abruptly. Did it a few times this afternoon when I jumped in the work ute to go home. Edited 28/04/15 07:32 AM by barnz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can replicate the clunk and sound I think your talking about by just punching it in really fast causing the drive line to unload abruptly. Did it a few times this afternoon when I jumped in the work ute to go home.The issue is when you are flat in first it is kind of hard to disengage slowly. When around town and in carparks I simply keep my foot on the accelerator ever so slightly so the car isn't engine breaking and it doesn't clunk at all. What annoys me is with a super heavy clutch I have to concentrate to do it which means it clunks probably 25% of the time as I don't always time it right.What will clunk every single time is if I'm engine braking in first and clutch in, it doesn't matter how slowly I do it.

Positive its the right pressure plate now? Tried bleeding it? Edited 28/04/15 07:51 AM by barnz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly never heard of anybody complain of their clutch disengaging to fast. But I've never had one that does it every time when coasting in gear, usually only in certain situations like when you stop abruptly coz spotted a car park and you punch it in real fast.
