Quieting the clutch case...

Pablo · Apr 3, 2008

I did the sound deadening thing on the clutch side the other day. I cut out some dense black polymer sound deadening material (whatever brand you can find*) to the shape of the case cover, glued it on with contact cement. You know, it actually is quieter from that side - I wouldn't have thunk.

*don't think you want the asphalt kind.....

Pablo,
where did you get that stuff?

Personally this is my kind of engine sloppy and simple. It rattles it wheezes it just keeps on banging along.

My wife had a good point last night. She said. "What if you had screwed up that wheel after you sold your car?

"You know honey you are absolutely right, I need to build a spare." LOL that will teach her.

I got it from a buddy - he just had a leftover hunk

I guess check the local car audio places, car parts stores, etc.

These engines are rough at first, but I fail to see any harm in refining them.

NO harm at all pablo, just different strokes.

It's like my son in law and I fight all the time about this issue. in different contexts of course. Not fight exactly just have hugely different opinions. I think what I was trying to say it that it's okay to love it for what it is, as well as what you can make it.
