That's not right. You should contact where you got it installed and OS Giken. I have the same clutch and haven't had issues. And I drive in stop and go every day. And not to mention, I don't baby my car. At all. I've had it since April and I think I've put 10k on it.

The OS Giken Grand Touring can stand up to I think 300hp. The other clutch I think is up to 400. So that's not right. I would leave Out Motoring out of it and deal with OS Giken direct. Out Motoring is just a store basically. OS Giken has really good reputation. I don't know anything about Scandinavian Auto - my friend takes his Lamborghini to Bethesda Euro Cars. But I digress. I got my clutch installed at Passport MINI of Alexandria and like I said, haven't had problem. For as much money as that clutch costs, you shouldn't have issues after 2k. Especially with the throw out bearing.

Stephatron Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 Yeah, it's an 07 R56 S. The noise at start up, the chatter, it's normal. It's supposed to do that. They didn't tell you that where you got it installed??? Other noises, not so much. Did you break it in ok?
Stephatron Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 Sometimes, it makes a weird noise in first. But I was told that's user error and needs more gas. It also makes an awful noise (again, user error) when downshifting from fourth to third.

RDG_RCR Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 It's a twin plate right? They are normally pretty chatty.
Minierik10 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Posted August 28, 2014 i had a twin plate in my old evo so im aware of the chatter but i think this is a faulty throw out bearing. i think the GT seris is a single disc that acts like a twin plate. im still up in the air on gettting rid of it but now sure, i have alot put into this little guy 2010 Mini Copper S *Stg 2 Battle Tuned* 2006 Jeep Liberty Renegade
Stephatron Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 Did you ever get this sorted out?? You should take a video and post it. Or message it to me. Break in period, as I was told, was 1,500 miles, stop and go encouraged and no rpms over 4,500. And no rev matching. It was difficult but I'm glad I listened. I got the clutch broken in right before the Dragon so that was a huge relief to me.

Stephatron Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 yeah was told it was a faulty throwout bearing, ive been busy so havent had time to address it. really still up in the air with what i want to do After I listened to the video again (without background noise near me) that was a similar Chewbacca noise my car was doing in first and reverse. But my clutch plate was worn to the rivets caused by oem throw out bearing gone bad. So there is NO REASON why brand new clutch with such incredible of a throw out bearing to be doing this, especially so soon. The longer you wait, the worse it'll get. Please reach out to OS Giken. I think they should fix it as it sounds like manufacturer's defect to me. I have noticed that the clutch behaves differently in the heat/humidity so I was really hoping it was that.
