new clutch seems to be a little loud above 2000 rpm's. not sure how to describe the noise, kinda like a low moan. is this normal to be loud at first? i thought maybe it just needs to break in a bit.

 

I never had any noise like that with mine. I've put about 12000 miles on it now....

 

my only noise is at idle with the new sb clutch. The disk rattles, it goes away at about 800 and up rpm- right off idle. Just sucks like in drive thoughs or bank tellers etc....

 

Mine has a rattle to it too when the cluth isn't pushed in. Also It doesn't grab when I try to build some boost for a harder launch. Is that normal?

 

I have a slight whine if I lug it in a gear. Not a sound I heard with the stocker.

 

hmm... well i guess ill just keep an eye on it

 

Yes, if you lug the engine you will get that noise but that is normal....

 

I installed one on my '03 and have not heard any additional noise. It is definitely more pedal pressure than the stocker. Nice engagement and I hope it is that way when towing.

I eventually going to replace the stock hydraulic clutch kit with the upgraded unit from SBC and I am having a heck of a time getting the clutch interlock electrical connector apart under the dash. I have tried pulling, pushing, and prying that little tab on the connector and I cannot get the connector apart. Any recommendations.

There is a difference between the OFE and the Con OFE right? One has springs and one doesn't? If you hav the Con O does if have a tendancy to grab and jerk since it doesn't have springs?

 

the o, ofe, and fe are the materials used. O= all organic materials used. OFE= organic on one side, and feramic on the other. FE= all feramic used.
