Another noise from the clutch pedal. Can't figure this one out, but it's loud and annoying and makes me wanna buy a GM.



is this a cracked firewall? other videos make me think so. I see a little movement on the clutch master.

hey Scott remember those eleven billion times when I told you what it was but you still can't accept it? lulzz

That's called a squeak. Lubrication will fix it.

The trick is finding out exactly what is squeaking and applying the lube to that point.

the first noise was a little click and it went away. now all of a sudden this.

seriously, im fixing this and then selling it.

4 pinch welds. they are tiny
we discussed this numerous times lol.
the fix is super easy. just time consuming

Braineack 10-26-2014 08:43 AM

Yeah, I'll fix it next weekend, then I highly consider trading it in.

My commute is too long for a rugged, rattly, noisy, gas-guzzling vehicle.

TurboTim 10-26-2014 09:17 AM

Fast forward 2 months. Scott complaining he needs an awd vehicle.

18psi 10-26-2014 03:37 PM

Scott wants a 200k vehicle for 20.

Buy a used C63. It will get rid of the rattly, noisy part, but be slightly more rugged and make the wrx mpg look like a prius.

There are articles with this title once a week on jalponik. Well $100k cars for $10.

MartinezA92 10-27-2014 12:09 PM

Am I the only one who thinks Jalopnik posts some really stupid shit sometimes?

Jesus Christ. Even the stuff the vendors and mods post over at a certain BRZ/FR-S/GT-86 forums is downright disappointing and terrifying.

Ducting your brakes for track work makes the rotors heat check more quickly?

God I love my BRZ (got it last Friday) but why is it owned by complete and utter fucking tools?

Most Subaru owners in general.

I need dat 700hp dodge charger.

honestly i have no clue what I'd get. the new CLA is interesting and is awd and turbo and makes decent hp and mpgs.

Did the spot weld fix but the noise is actually coming directly from the TOB. Trying to figure out a way to grease the input shaft and stuff from the dust boot. Any ideas other than dropping the trans and replacing the clutch and tob?

I bought a newer car so I didnt have to do this kind of work.




wondering if i just need to get grease in the hinges like this guy suggests: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...9&postcount=15

but mine is like this right? http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNj...UJM-A/$_57.JPG


Sidenote: my IC pipes were completely loose when I pulled it. That's annoying.

Braineack 11-01-2014 03:25 PM

Seems like when I started the car back up and drove it was completely silent and smooth. No idea why, not going to think about it.

Bracket spot weld fix took under an hour. Figuring out squeak took me over 2 or so.

Bonus: I fixed some of my rattles while I was up in there. Two major ones were the A pillar covers rattling against the dash, so I just stuffed shop rags up in them to fill the void and prevent them from being able to move/rattle.

I dont hate the car as much again.

Braineack 11-02-2014 09:43 AM

what's the point of a turbo miata site if I don't get any Subaru feedback within 24hr?
