IS THE THROWOUT BEARING BURNING YOUR CLUTCH!!

In the final part of this series, we go over the Throwout Bearing how it works, and the importance of adjusting it correctly. What was your favorite part of this series?
Got the transmission installed and all that stuff is good to go, but you're not done yet. There are very few different styles of these, but the principle is all the same. This pushes against these fingers, and that's what puts the vehicle in neutral. If this puts too much pressure on this without you touching it, it will cause issues. If it's too far away, it's not as big a deal, but you need to figure out what that adjustment is and where it's at. There are multiple different ways; different manufacturers have different adjustments. Sometimes it's in the slave cylinder, sometimes it's actually in the clutch pedal stuff. If you fail to do this, you end up with results like this: sales are missing fingers. That's because this thing was pushing down so hard on it that it literally broke these fingers. So, pay attention to that, and sometimes, if you have it just a little bit over-adjusted, you're actually going to overheat it. This clutch didn't last very long because it was constantly getting pressure, slipping on it. If you guys have any questions in the comments or anything like that, feel free to contact us. Thanks for tuning in, guys. See you next time.

Great video man, I just replaced a new clutch again, the mechanic claims that I was riding on the clutch etc. I knew I wasn’t because I’ve mentioned to him as I’m driving, I was hearing a scrubbing noise, so yes I believe that’s exactly what it was, the bearings while they claim it was me smh.

[@Mustard-Bargain]

Seriously. How would you adjust the slave?

[@sidewayzmike]

@@Mustard-Bargain well, just a quick theory, was maybe modify the body of the slave (skimming down the ears, so the plunger fits deeper into the bell housing/clutch fork). Dunno if it's been done before, or not, or whether it can even be done, lol. My mind was just wandering...

[@ThatsLeoYKnow]

Great video, informative and to the point! I'm currently trying to diagnose a problem with my car since the clutch won't fully disengage and start to slip and spin the wheels if I put it in neutral and let out the clutch pedal. You hear the whirring vibrating sound from within the car and it's really notiecable, even more so outside. A mechanic changed the clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing, the slave cylinder and the clutch hose without any improvement. Also machined the flywheel. Any chance it has to do with the adjustment or is it more likely to be a pilot bearing or something?

[@FlatBroke612]

Oh so that’s the pits it in neutral shift fork-arino is it? No heckin’ way!

[@shobud7561]

I have a 83 toyota corolla wagon AE71 rwd 1.6 that I changed over to a 5 speed manual. I had to make the hydraulic line from the master to the slave . I can not get the free travel I need on the pedal . I can adjust it so it has about 1/4 free travel, then as soon as the engine gets to operating temperature it has no free travel . First thing it the morning the pedal has the 1/4" free travel then after the engine warms up the travel is gone with O free travel. I can adjust it after the engine gets to operating temperature and have 1/4" free travel. Then when it cools down the pedal has way to much travel with the clutch catching right on the floor. And information would be greatly appreciated ...

[@joblessalex]

Possibly didn't bleed the line correctly and water or air expands due to heat?

[@tylerroe5175]

You have air in the system somewhere. Hydraulic fluid doesn’t expand like that with mild temperature changes

[@actionclutch]

Double check for air in the system also make sure the hydraulic line you made from the slave to the master has the proper fittings that could be another issue that would result in the same problem.

[@umayrisaacs2493]

How would you know if it's too far? How far is too far and how close is too close? I did a conversion myself and not sure sure if I should have put a spacer behind the push out bearing.

[@Shamz-ik2ed]

I just had my clutch, pressure plate and flywheel replaced on my Honda. All the gears are entering fine, but when releasing the clutch pedal nothing happens. The axles are all the way in for both wheels so I'm wondering if the issue would be because of the release bearing adjustment. Any ideas?

[@jamessettles6485]

Maybe one of the parts you replaced was a dud, it happens.

[@actionclutch]

I would check the pedal adjustment it's possible the release bearing is making contact with the pressure plate, if so adjust accordingly using specs from the service manual.

[@michaelrueckert8507]

What could cause a pressure plate to stop returning back to normal position after only 60k miles and only after we removed it? Comparing it to a brand new one, the plate doesn't return up as high.

[@eduardorodriguezfigueroa4499]

Quick question: I bought my first manual car BRZ and when I’m in first or second gear at around 1-2k RPMs it jerks, as if there’s friction in a part of a full rotation that causes it to jerk like if I’m applying brake and then gas, brake and then gas, repeatedly. My foot is not on the clutch and I’m just applying a steady pressure on the gas. I know that it jerks if it’s in low RPM or if I don’t clutch correctly. But it isn’t the same type of jerking and I don’t think it should be this way. Maybe my clutch is worn off or something else is wrong. If you guys or girls have any suggestions please let me know. Thank you.

It’s a more aggressive clutch so it will grab harder which is probably why you are having to give it more gas. Did you install a lightened flywheel with that clutch by chance?

[@Slayer-br2nc]

GUYS YOU WONT BELIEVE ME, SO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. I learned this year, the ecu is going to stall the car everytime with a lightweight clutch and flywheel, because it's accounting for a heavier setup. The only way you can fix this is by TUNING your car.

You need to check the clutch pedal adjustment it could be over traveled or under traveled will give you the same symptoms but based off the chirp sounds like it's over-traveled check out your service manual for proper specs.

I just did an ACT clutch install on my 09 Mazdaspeed 3 I’m basically rebuilding …it’s not too terrible I did it in my garage with no lift and I’m not a professional mechanic just a home mechanic my main advice would be to make sure you organize and or draw diagrams to know where every bolt goes back(took me a lot of research from rushing disassembly) and it will make it 100x easier..other than that just look up a good guide on KZbin for a Mazda 3 clutch change with the brand of clutch you have and follow it step by step and make sure not to skip out the last thing you want to do is have to pull it all back apart when done so its usually very recommended to replace the slave cylinder and the clutch release fork as well the same time your are replacing the clutch..hope that helps some!

At first when you installed the clutch kit the adjustment might have been done good enough to give enough gap where the bearing wouldn’t rub on the fingers of the pressure plate but as a clutch kit wears in the fingers naturally lift up which is why you are now hearing noise so I would just double check the adjustment and back out as required.

What do you mean groans when you're taking off in first releasing the clutch it's stuttering or what? did you get a solid mass conversion kit on your car that originally had a dual mass flywheel? Because if that's the case it's nothing bad you can just hear all the noises in the transmission because the dual mass dampens vibrations and noise and with the solid mass you get a lot more noise and vibration

Check the pedal adjustment release bearing sounds over traveled also make sure to run a pedal stop and adjust that accordingly to prevent over-traveling the bearing and making contact with the discs. If you hear chatter that is normal it's just the floaters engaging and disengaging.

I found there to be no free play in the clutch adjustment. the car has only 20k on it. Seems like it suffered some abuse in what I suspect was short lease life. I guess the question is, under what circumstances would some one want to eliminate free play. what is it hiding?

[@mashedpotatoes5323]

My Toyota matrix XRS clutch pedal needs to be about 50% released before it starts to grab. It doesn't feel like it slips at all even under acceleration while leaving a light. Is the clutch possibly just worn from what you are saying or does it just need adjustment like described in the video?

[@Retread268]

@@mashedpotatoes5323 I my clutch finally showed up and I had it replaced. The original as I suspected was abused. Ironically, it was not the original clutch that was toast. So, I gather the freel play adjustment was the way to try to hide it. The replacement is great, it does catch earlier. Not as much as I thought it might. Anywho, lesson learned . Thx for the reply

[@actionclutch]

It’s possible the clutch kit was replaced but not adjusted as required causing absolutely no free play and gear lock out noticeable majority of the time in 1st and reverse double check that adjustment and you should be good. -Cub

If I blew my transmission bought a working used one and new clutch kit , put it all together and would go into gear and spin the wheels on the lift but once on the ground and put into gear it wouldn’t move , what could that be ?

🤨

[@s550andrew]

Did you get this fixed ?

[@brarautorepairs]

Did you install the clutch backwards? Is the clutch actually fully engaged? When you put it into gear, does it stall if the car isn't moving?

[@actionclutch]

That has to do with not having the correct pedal adjustment check your service manual for proper specs and you should be solid.

[@maxbritoclipperhands2998]

Just got an action clutch stage 1 for my kseries and wen I put it in gear the car moves from a stop and it’s very hard to go in my slave is bled and brand new also my clutch master and it’s adjust and still not engaging all the way

I wish people always posted their fixes. My k20z3 has a new clutch and i havent been able to get it moving for 3 weeks now.

[@actionclutch]

Recheck the adjustment it's most likely still off and make sure you have 1/4in clutch pedal free play.

[@messynate]

Car is making a squeaky sound until I press on clutch and clutch has gotten softer. What’s going on

[@KPotassiumK]

Throw out bearing more than likely

[@actionclutch]

Throwout bearing is making unnecessary contact could be the adjustment but since your pedal is getting softer you may be experiencing a hydraulic issue which will also contribute to other issues if not addressed soon.

[@adamperry7848]

When I go to press the clutch in I feel a vibration in the pedal. The higher the RPM when I shift usually the more I feel it. Would that be a clutch issue or something else?

[@Toosmoothtolose]

same

[@brarautorepairs]

When you press the clutch, you can feel the engine through the pedal along with the pressure plate and flywheel. You need to confirm you don't have vibration coming from the engine. It could be worn out thrust bearings

[@Luckydimegarage713]

How do you adjust that for a 2010 Mazda speed 3

[@brarautorepairs]

Many cars have no adjustment. They have "self" adjusting clutchs

[@Luckydimegarage713]

Would the adjustment be the bleeding of the clutch pedal it's self

[@actionclutch]

Check your service manual to find out how to adjust the clutch pedal and release bearing travel, bleeding the clutch hydraulic system is not the same as adjusting the pedal but is also required and crucial.

[@billybull7419]

How do you adjust it?

[@actionclutch]

Majority of the vehicles the adjustment is done via a pushrod that connects the clutch pedal to the clutch master cylinder there’s a jamnut on it and once you break it loose you turn the rod clockwise or counterclockwise this will bring the release bearing closer or further from the pressure plate depending on the vehicle. Some adjustments are different and some cars do not have one always check your service manual if unsure. -Cub

[@kaferere]

??????? There is no adjustment on a hydraulic clutch, what are you talking about ? Why show a picture of a hydraulic clutch ?? A Thrust Bearing (throw out bearing) cannot cause a friction plate to "burn out" because if it's putting pressure on the pressure plate, it's DISENGAGING the Friction Plate, not ENGAGING it against the flywheel. Besides, you wouldn't be able to get the car in gear if the friction plate was being pushed against the flywheel with the engine running ! So many American "mechanics" don't seem to know how a clutch works at all and are posting "information" that is absolute rubbish. You clearly don't know how a Clutch Mechanism works. "This pushes against this which puts the vehicle in neutral" ????? What ARE you jabbering about man ?

[@actionclutch]

Adjustment is required on majority of vehicle check your service manual for more information. Thanks!

[@kaferere]

@@actionclutch You need to stop talking about clutches man, it's obvious you don't have a clue how a hydraulic clutch works, I don't need to check anything, you shouldn't be posting videos about something you are totally clueless about. What you're saying is totally ridiculous fool. "Thanks"

Is there a way to check if the bearing is too close while the transmission is on?? @actionstop

[@actionclutch]

Some transmissions have inspection covers if it doesn't take out the dust boot cover on the fork and try and see where the release bearing is at, if touching back it off a tad bit.

[@ssjdavid]

Or just buy Exedy action clutch breaks

[@actionclutch]

That's not totally true at all. Exedy makes a great product too.

I just had a shop replace my oem clutch with a stage one i bought off clutch masters. After they got my old one out then they said my flywheel was also bad. Instead of waiting to get one shipped i let them buy the oem flywheel. Well not even a few months later and maybe 10k miles i smell burning smell like i did when the first clutch went out and its starting to still rev in nuetral. Any thoughts on what they did wrong? I have a 2013 dart 1.4 6 speed. If i have to replace it again im just going to do it myself and save the $800 in labor

I don’t think y’all installing ya clutch’s properly. Me nd a friend just did a stage 1 on a Fidanza flywheel (191471). That same flywheel was paired with a stage 1 exedy that went bad with the throw out bearing. We recently just put everything brand new around the tranny while it was out OEM seals fork throw out bearing pilot bearing nd the pivot ball with the spring. I have his pedal currently adjusted in a way that he doesn’t feel comfortable driving the car but with everything new and aftermarket being different from OEM the 2 sensors on your pedal need to be adjusted in a way to accommodate for the new clutch. The top 1 is the pedal stopper. Second lower down is to limit your pedal dead zone. The push rod should be all the way in from there come out to half of what’s treaded and adjust from there. Over time you to adjust the push rod to have less thread on this 👈🏾 end. Hope y’all can make sense of this good luck nd save your pedals

3 months ago I had a mechanic change our e46 clutch and flywheel. 3 days later i heard a banging and metal to metal sound and the clutch locked up, it sounded horrible like someone threw a hammer into the clutch and it hit with force and locked up. The mechanic fixed it free and said he put the bearing on wrong or backwards. 4 months have gone by and now when i push the clutch all the way down im getting a vibration and noise. After googling it people say its the bearing. Was this the mechanics fault? Is that part what he replaced? I dont know how to confront the mechanic because its been a couple thousand miles later but clearly he may have caused this. I never grinded the clutch and drove it carefully. Please help.

It's totally your mechanics fault, he admitted to it, fixed it, and now you're having the same issue because of what he did wrong to begin with.
