Sup everyone, recently I bought an Act stage 2 clutch and 12 lb flywheel, for my 94' integra Ls. The problem ive noticed since then, is that when the clutch engages, there is a squeeky rubbery sounding noice. Ive asked all the mechanics in the area what this sound could be, and everyone gives me different answers... heres some of there possible causes for my squeeky noise.

*Throwout bearing
*Faulty clutch disc
*Cv joints/boots or axle
*motor mounts

K... so ive already changed the motor mounts, and I truly dont believe its anything with the clutch.

The sound is a squeeky sound on made when the clutch is engaged and under stress. If i take off in 2nd gear, the noise is loud and drawn out. Also it doesn't make the noise when the engine is cold.
The reason i dont believe it has to do with my clutch, is that sometimes the noise comes from the left side of the car, and other times it comes from the right side. So i believe it has to do with the axles... Ive checked the cv boots and they are not torn or leaking.
I am assuming that when i got the new clutch, the harsher engagement must have worn out something in my axles. I dont know much about axles, so i dont know how to check to see if this is the problem. If the axles are the problem, would i need to replace them with better ones so this doesn't happen again? Please help me if you have any ideas as to what this problem might be, cause none of the mechanics in my area seem to know.

unless your boots are torn or you hear a clicking noise while turning either way your cv shafts should be ok, they usually give a vibe, or a clicking while turning if bad, i'm running the same clutch, street / strip disk on my ls,(see your other posting)and have something similar on occasions but i think mine is either the rubber in the clutch pedal mount or in the rod/adj on clutch master cyl. i hear mine while depressing the clutch on occasion, which could be related to the clutch pedal pressure difference

 

I dont have any problem with clutch pedal or anything, its just the really loud shrieking squeeks as i take off LOLZ. Im almost possitive its something to do with the axles though. On your car feel up by the clutch pedal to see if theres fluid leaking there, thats how i knew my master cylinder was worn.. thanks for your help, but im pretty sure it has something to do with the axles, sounds like the sound is coming from where the axles connect to the tranny, but not really sure... please help someone if you know what it could be?

 

Someone told me it could be my differential, but i dont now how to tell... Anyone have any ideas???

 

I've seen problems with aftermarket clutch hubs interfering with pressureplates. Could be metal to metal contact between your disc hub and pressureplate, otherwise I think it's the TO bearing. I doubt you have problems with your axles, unless they are not properly seated in the tranny. The noise you are hearing is probably being emphasized by the whole transmission case vibrating, which would explain why you hear the noise from one side of the car. Hope this info helps you.

 

no my master is fine, it went out a while back, my prob. seems to be the excessive force needed to depress the pedal as compared to the stock pedal, thats why i think mine is in the pedal rubber or rod length
