[QUOTE="SLO_SHO, post: 16774280, member: 203485"] Good evening all, I have a question regarding my clutch fork. First I'll give you a little background, I bought the car (03 cobra) back in early January...I live in MN so now chance I was going to drive it than. Fast forward to warmer weather , which felt like a lifetime, I was finally able to get the car out and as it's my first manual so had to relearn how to drive a stick as it's been 12+ years. Anyway, all was good...no odd noises other than a very slightly loose pulley. After driving it a few weeks I started to notice a slight chirp as the clutch was engaged (thinking tob). I contacted the previous owner wondering when the last time he replaced it and he said the spec stage 2 clutch, hydraulic clutch (know it's not common), throw out bearing and such were all new within 600 miles of me purchasing. I'm aware throw out bearings can be crap out of the box and can really fail at any time. The previous owner stated that the rod/nut connected to the fork needed to be adjusted which it was loose. Now I've been fighting the adjustment for a few weeks now, being my first manual car I figured it might be a trial and error deal. The other day I realized that the little ball/spacer at the fork was wore out and became metal on metal, so I threw in a piece that was not metal and chirp was gone! Woo so that eliminates it being the ToB (possibly) lol while I was under the car before taking the metal piece out I video taped what the fork was doing as I was disengaging/engaging as I could hear a slight rattle and almost felt like it was slightly binding on engagement (also is chattery upon take off) and the video shows the clutch fork almost shaking as I'm engaging the clutch which is probably why I feel the chatter.
