Clutch clunking

[Homem Bomba]

Constructive criticism is not an offense in many way, in fact I appreciate you taking the time to explain me why you should not put grease in the slave cylinder

What about a silicone-based lubricant? I use these whenever I have to lubricate a rubber-based part or boot and no special grease is advised. It says specifically that it is designed not to attack rubbers, unlike WD-40 or MP grease.

However, I do not recommend that you put brake cleaner in rubbers, as it may dry the rubber and make it brittle. In the case of the slave cylinder, the seal may also be damaged.

But the OP has not yet responded to my question... it this happens when the car is moving and in gear (shifting, for example) the problem may not even be related to the clutch at all. In that case, I'd say that the diff backlash needs to be re-tigthtened... its a common problem and ppl think it comes from the clutch, but the clunk is propagated through the propeller shaft and it seems like the problem is clutch related.

I have made a video on how I did the tuning of the differential backlash, it may be of use to anybody needing to adjust it...
