for the low idle, try and clean out your iacv

for the clutch noise, does it happen only while your pushing it down? does it continue to make a noise if you keep the pedal pressed down?

it only makes noise when i press it down, the master cylinder and fly wheel have just been repalced a few weeks ago

the idle is fine around 500 where it should be but i dont get why my shifter and steering wheel skae like crazy

it sounds like you have 2 different issues. an idle issue, and a clutch issue.

500 is too low it should be 600-750.

sounds like your throwout bearing or pilot bushing could be going.

why did you have your flywheel replaced? you didnt get clutch done either while the trans was out? didnt have the throwout bearing checked out?

wow sorry about that thought i included clutch was done also opps, and yeah there is 2 differnt problems, how would i get the idle to get back to normal then, i dont feel 500 is that low compared to 600 so that dosnet seem like too much of an issue and would the pilot bushing be with a master set of bushings from energy suspension because i bought a set already

the clutch was replaced with the master cylinder, originaly i thought my MC went but after further inspection the clutch was blown to bits, and i dont drop the clutch, so i had the flywheel replaced also since it was pretty worn,but the pressure plate was fine

yea 100 rpms isn't much but it could be enough to send the right frequency of vibrations up your steering column

the pilot bushing is more like a bearing on the flywheel, so no it does not come with the ES set. since you had your flywheel replaced i would hope they changed the pilot bearing with it.

so let me get this straight, you said your pressure plate was fine? so your saying you kept that and only replaced the clutch disk?

have you looked at the slave cylinder yet? have a buddy use the clutch while you take a look at the slave under the hood. this would probably be your best option considering its located externally and easy/cheap to replace.
