I don't recall my car doing it with the stock clutch. Also, I just had my clutch out and found 3 loose bolts that the mechanic didn't tighten while installing the new, super- duper one. This caused the release bearing to break the tabs that it uses to attach to the release arm. This caused 'strange clutch behaviour' above 4000RPM ( see the thread under same heading). After re-installing, this banging still occurs occasionally. I've been really paying atten. to it the last few days and have found that if I give her 2000 RPM and hesitate a little less at the end of the stroke (trusting) all is good. She really hates to pull away without revs and the LWFW may be the cause of that. EEPP, what RPM are you releasing the clutch at?
