Just installed new clutch - bad noise with pedal to the floor.
I just installed a new clutch:
Zoom replacement with new PP
Resurfaced my stock flywheel
Put in new pilot bushing
Had some trouble getting the trans back into place but we eventually got it. Got it all put together, started it and it just makes a bad racket when the pedal is all the way pushed in. If I push it in half way, it releases so I can switch gears, but if I push it all the way in it makes a rattle/scrape kind of noise.
For a quick fix I tried shimming my slave with some washers - which did help - but it still makes the noise; just needed to drive the car back to my house. The clutch itself works great - no slip or anything. Just this damned rattle with it all the way to the floor. Has anyone had this happen and know of the cause/solution?
Thanks
Edit: I just drove it again and it's more like a "knock" than a rattle. Going with engine RPM. I think it may be the fork hitting something but I'm unsure as to what's actually going on.

I had a similar problem. It turned out to be my clutch lever wasnt engaged all the way. We remove the slave tapped the lever with a hammer to push it further up and it poped into place. Problem solved for me.
