Transmission Sounds
I have a 96 Sc300 and my clutch makes a high pitch squeaking sound everytime it engages usually only in first gear. Its a six puck clutch. Any idea what could be the problem?

I have no idea what company makes the clutch because it came with the car when i bought it. My friend tells me its because the clutch is overkill for a stock setup. Did your clutch make that noise when you had a stock clutch in there? If so i think i need to switch to OEM.

Mine happens at all temperatures also. My stock clutch never made this noise and when I first installed the clutch it didn't make this noise either, but now it does when engaging first gear sometimes. I guess let us know if anyone knows what the problem is and if there's a possible fix.

its the friction of the clutch material on the flywheel creating a resonation noise. its the same reason why high friciton material brake pads will squeal when not braking hard. I bet if all of you drop the clutch on a launch it wont make this noise... id just get used to it.

one thing to check is put it in 5th gear and floor it. if the revs jump and you dont gain speed its defn time for a new one. its starting to sound like you may have glazed the clutch or whats left of it. good luck
