Recently bought a 2014 Ford focus s 2.0 with dps6. Car had issues with transmission. Got her home, dropped tranny, removed clutch and found the slave cylinder was seized (ball bearing grease was dried up and part was basically coming apart.) Changed the slave cylinder, and had to change the forks after spraying them down with brake fluid and contaminating the slides. I posted a video of the noise that the clutch is making. Here's where it gets weird. So before I removed the clutch, I spun it and it made a similar sound. After making replacing items mentioned above, I reset the clutch and reinstalled it. I released the actuators by turning them 14 times counter clockwise and when I spun it then it sounded fine. but I later found out that I released clutch actuators in opposite order. So next morning I removed clutch, reset it again, and released clutch actuators in correct order. Now when I spin it it's making this croaking noise. Is it normal? Do I need to fix something? This is my first one of these so I'm a little unsure here. Any advice is helpful. Also, the noise in the video is amplified x10. In person the noise is much more subtle. Thank you.

That noise is not normal. Pull the clutch back out, and move both input shafts by hand. See if you can hear or feel that noise from the input shafts. Move the shafts up and down to check the input shaft bearing. If the shafts feel fine. Get yourself a brand new clutch (with 2 year/unlimited mileage warranty) through ford. Odds are, that clutch of yours will shudder soon or immediately anyway. Getting a new one will cover you parts and labor for the next 2 years. (1-2 clutches for free). Good luck to you.

Did you figure out what that noise is and can you post the video. I have a wierd rattling noise after clutch install.
