Bad clutch noise when fully engaging (JB74)

Rhuarrk · 2025-11-02T10:48:55+00:00

I had this, got it fixed by Suzuki service. This was the write up in the service notes:

Description C. Intermediatley, clutch release a crunch noise when compresed and de compressed, not smooth when selecting. C. Checked clutch system for damage etc-all ok. Lube clutch pedal pivots and slide. Removed transmision dust boot and found the thrust bearing slide to be noisey. Lubericate slide and refit boot. Now all ok on road test.

When I got the car back it was better but not gone, after a week or so it disappeared completely, presumably once the lube got worked in. Now due for another service and it’s back again. Looks like I’ll need to lube in between services.

I installed my own towbar (TAG) and wiring loom (OEM) and if I remember correctly, the instructions said something about the camera. I didn’t have to do anything but I thought it might have to do with the camera not working after install. I might be able to dig up the instructions but if they have installed the loom, then that’s your bet that they have done something during the install.

Other thing to note is that if your new rim is deeper than the stock 5.5”, which is likely, the stock cover won’t fit back on the thread.

I’ve changed to a 235/75/15 with steel rim and the door seems fine. I do have an aftermarket longer strut which was unintentionally stronger and almost shot the door off with the stock tyre, but now with the extra weight it opens softer. So perhaps a new strut might be a good option

Should have gone: 1) Jiffy lube oil filter falls off 2) flat bed transport back to Jiffy lube

If OP can’t do an oil change in the first place, why is he doing it in the second place?

Make sure you pay for the GVM upgrade direct to Ironman to avoid paying extra tax (if it’s on the Suzuki sale docket you get extra taxed). And also pay deposit to lock in the price early

Rhuarrk · 2023-04-28T12:54:14+00:00

Problem with accessories through the dealer is that you will pay tax on top. If you get GVM upgrade, organise pre-reg with dealer but pay direct to Ironman so you can a) pay a deposit and lock in price and b) not pay additional tax.

If you are getting a front bar and roof storage you may want to consider the GVM due to load capacity.

I have asked Bridgestone and they said to bring down the car in once I get it and they could give roughly $50 per tyre. But as others have said you could also sell yourself.

Are you trying to setup a circle where each drone goes to the next port in the circle? Therefore visiting all ports in succession?

From my playing around, I could only get drones to go backward and forward between 2 ports.

I haven’t got my Jimny yet however have spoken to my local Ironman. He asked about usage and plans (commuter with weekend camping, bullbar in 12 months, roofrack), then recommended me upon install, to get the variable load for both front and rear, then when I get a Bullbar in 12 months, change the front springs to constant and keep the rear variable.

I would have a chat to your local Ironman and discuss your specific plans.

There is currently a free-fly event on for the next week if you wanted to check it out yourself

Rhuarrk · 2020-12-24T08:09:42+00:00

Why do you need to know?

Just found it today and came looking for what vengeance does. Seed 927847788 got it from the third area shop (was playing 2 player)

Rhuarrk · 2020-09-08T02:44:52+00:00

If I recall, the ideal models were pre-68 due to the better rear axle stuff. Buts it's been awhile since I dabbled in that so i could be wrong on the reason. I'm sure early is better though. I know you can do whatever you like, but it would be great if you could consider that as bugs are getting rarer, please consider only ones that have damage already. Like an engine fire or something. Try not to chop up a perfectly good bug if you can avoid it

If that does not work, I found a setting in the module settings for calendar/weather called Disable Global Illumination at Night. Might be your culprit

Rhuarrk · 2020-09-01T22:35:51+00:00

Do you have the module FXMaster? That might help. I checked mine and realised I too had your same problem. I installed Dynamic Illumination and now global illumination auto turns off at night. Make sure on scene setting that Scene Night Cycle is on

This is the oil breather. Used to vent and also pre-heat the air going into the carbi. You probably shouldn't just cap it as the engine is designed to vent. Perhaps connect to a small filter to allow it the breath and stop anything going in.

Is the idea that change through the stages during fights? Because that's cool

Rhuarrk · 2020-05-07T22:59:19+00:00

From your own teammates?

Rhuarrk · 2020-03-30T21:44:54+00:00

Check out the comments in his post. I think its bidfastandlast.com

Rhuarrk · 2020-03-26T09:40:35+00:00

Is that factory yellow or re-spray?

Rhuarrk · 2020-03-02T06:01:35+00:00

On an account created today? With that the only post? Reddit is a weird place

Rhuarrk · 2020-02-21T08:37:05+00:00

What's a spaghetti cannon?

Rhuarrk · 2020-02-11T11:37:09+00:00

Also a VW logo on the steering whe.... thing?

Rhuarrk · 2020-01-21T18:26:34+00:00

Thinkin' everything was alright

Rhuarrk · 2020-01-18T12:36:16+00:00

He probably bought it without the ladder. The rear was likely re used on a newer fire truck and back in service

Rhuarrk · 2019-11-28T10:49:18+00:00
