noise from oem flywheel/clutch at idle?
 

Hey guys,

I've got a pretty weird noise at idle coming from what I think is the clutch or flywheel at idle. *sounds like a rotating/grinding. *the noise stops when I depress the clutch pedal. *it's not very noticeable on cold starts, but when the engine warms up, it's fairly loud. *also have a little issue with turning off the car... when I hit the button it just sounds like the engine dies... this car is really pissing me off!

here's a video clip of the noise... bare with it, the first 20 sec or so is nothing... I alternate between depressing the clutch pedal and releasing it. the end of the vid I turn off the car so u can hear that too.

Thanks in advance.

tons of threads on this dude. it's normal.

you watched it? I ask because I searched threw a lot of threads, and I found several detailing the clutch grinding noise, I even listened to a few... but I thought this was different... or maybe not...

Seems normal to me. Just about sounds like mine. But hard to tell from a vid.

If you are talking about the "marbles rolling around in the clutch area" sound, yeah.......normal unfortunately. Hopefully this will go away with a twin plate swap or aftermarket clutch, but I won't know until my current clutch is dead or close to it.

Normal! :tup: You want noisy, listen to the dry clutch on my BMW K1200RS, it sounds like a box of rocks.

gee i thought nissan fixed this after they had this problem with the 350z

I listened to the vid and it sounds like my car. it's just how the factory setup sounds. not being rude, it's just how this car is.

Umm, this is an issue? How so?

deff should be a issue nissan should fix because its very loud. even when the windows are up you can still hear it.

Normal.

"normal" in that all our cars have it.

I can't hear ****, next time try pointing the camera at the car instead of a wall.

Is this noise also similar to releasing the clutch too quickly while engaging 1st or 2nd gear and not giving it enough gas? In other words... the marbles rolling around sound, as if the engine were about to die?

I used to have it but after 15k miles it went away
