Bought a CC Stage 4 last June, had it professionally installed by Lethal Injection Motorsports in Alpharetta, GA, install was fine.

Clutch held up until recently, maybe 3 months ago I start to hear a rotational noise only when you engage the clutch, once its engaged the sound goes away.

I brought the noise up to Chris (crush) about a week or 2 ago, and he mentions the same thing happened to Carlos, CC Stage 3 Failure so I already prepared for the worse last year when I started hearing about the CC problems, I got an ACT Street disc late last year, just the disc as I assume they use the same pressure plate and last week I bought a stock clutch earlier this week thinking I would make it to June and just have it replaced while I was out of town.

Well today driving back from the mailbox it happened, I was in first, went to put it in second and it wouldn't go. I tried to put it back in first, nothing. Then noticed my clutch pedal was on the floor so it isn't disengaging the clutch so a spring may have popped out and isn't allowing it to disengage.

At least I was in my apartment complex and I just let it cost until it came to a stop in a parking spot.

Thanks a lot CC.

 

I remember being one of the first to have a bad CC, and everyone was like noo there so good.. Mines fine.



Glad people are now relising stay the hell away! I know of one person problem free. ( brett)

 

bummer glad i went with ACT!

 

what sucks is i've ever been able to change the damn clutch myself so trying to find a shop in Auburn is proving to be quite a task. Good thing is my AAA membership just renewed so towing isn't an issue.

The clutch is the only thing left from my boosted glory days

 

I have a stock clutch these days

 

____ ive had a squeaky throw out bearing from day one of the comp clutch install. Just recently i started hearing that rotational noise your talking about. I better get ready for a new clutch

 

I have an ACT disc if you need it, i'm going back to stock clutch.

Better to go ahead and take care of it sooner rather than later, i'm just glad I was at home and not on the road somewhere....car still starts, you just can't move it.

 

Same clutch mine will probably fail to its just a matter of time.

 

so far im problem free as well mike, knock on wood. only noise that i ever hear is when i engage the clutch when the car is cold.

now i guess i jinxed myself and need to order an act haha.

 

are you sure its the clutch? i had this happen to me a few weeks back. the clutch stayed stuck to the floor. turns out it was just the master cylinder. $20 part, easy to install.

 

If there is an easy way to distinguish between the two let me know and i'll report back

 

reach down and pull the petal away from the floor, then try to pump it using your hands. if it does not build pressure and keeps getting sucked back to the floor, then the master cylinder is not holding pressure and needs to be replaced.

 

Well that's not the issue....just checked and pedal is not on the floor. It's in the normal position. I push it in and can start the car and still hear that rotational noise. I push the clutch in and I can hear it but it just isn't engaging.

 

are you feeling any resistance from the clutch like normal, or does it push right to the floor? it may also be your throw out bearing if you hear something clunking around. to start the car all that needs to happen is the little white plastic button on the floor needs to be pushed down, so that doesnt matter much.

 

I don't feel any extra resistance out of the normal, i'm not fighting any resistance to get it down and it doesn't just flop down either. I don't hear any clunking around, just the rotational noise that I hear, it's starting the squeal slightly now so I just turned it back off.

 

oh well. sorry.

 

No worries, would've been an easier fix...just chalk it up to the clutch or TOB, either way it's sitting on still for the moment.

FWIW....I can cycle through the gears just fine, no resistance with the car off.

 

when my tob went out i couldnt even shift through the gears with the car off...sounds more like the clutch then to me.

 

Damn am I the only one on Scionlife that didn't have a problem with there stage 4 clutch? Toyota TOB ftw! I have a act clutch just cause the CC couldn't hold the power I have now.

 

i have a clutchmasters tob in mine haha with my cc stage 4.
