Re: Fidanza users
Are you using the same bellhousing? Could be it is introducing some misalignment which is putting side load on the input shaft bearing that is causing the noise you mentioned.

Re: Fidanza users
Mark installed the clutch asm as part of his "500" package so I am confident everything is to spec.
If I depress the clutch pedal to the floor a lot of the noise goes away. The trans is real noisy if I lug the engine down any at all, especially in the higher gears. Mid to high rpm's everything is fine. Some guys don't mind the noise at all, but I like to listen to the exhaust most of the time. The noise drives me crazy, plus I really dislike having to explain to all I show the car to that it really isn't about to blow up, it's just clutch/flywheel noise....

Re: Fidanza users
I sort of think its fun to pull up to some ricer Subie or Mitsu or even a C6 with a car that sounds like its ready to blow up. And then...BAM! Talk about sleeper.

My clutch works fine, it is just the noise that bothers me. It could very well mislead some unwitting victims of the beast!

Yeah who would ever suspect a POS C4 Corvette that sounds like a rattle can. BTW, maybe once the snow clears out maybe we can take a listen to your ZR.

Re: Fidanza users
While I miss the power... I parted ways with the Fidanza a year ago. The rattle drove me nuts. I put up with it for about 7 years. The unit I had pulled out was beat to hell. The ZF.Doc returned to stock and I haven't looked back since. Remember my 91 is my DD and my 90 is my Monday and maybe weekend driver only so the 91 has significantly more beating on it.

Re: Fidanza users
Next time you have the transmission out wouldn’t hurt to check the mounting flange bore and face runout with a dial indicator on both the transmission and bell housing.
A while back I was tracking down an unusual whining noise a ZF transmission was making in the lower gear ranges. This particular transmission came out of a wrecked ZR-1 that had 5K miles. Found one of the bolting ears on the main case to be slightly bent that introduced an angular misalignment on the input shaft which caused the input shaft bearing to whine. Machined the ear to correct the angular misalignment solved the whining noise problem.

Re: Fidanza users
My question is has anybody went from a stock clutch disk to a sprung hub disc and noticed the difference in sound? I have a fidanza on my car now with all the stock clutch components....Noise is more prevalent in the low RPMS and of course if I'm lugging it around town...Getting used to the noise though , than again, its cold in the northeast....Driving with the Windows closed....Will see, when the top comes off and the Windows go down,I will see if I can tolerate it....
