Loud clamping sound

***staticx313*** · 04-06-2004, 08:00 PM

Wow... when going really slow like thrugh a parking lot or something, the car makes a LOUD clamping sound like *CLLAMPP* when you're coming to a stop. I dont know if its the brake or the clutch (as I push the clutch in as i go to stop of course).... does this sound normal? Just sticky pads? Worn pads? etc...

Pretty easy to determine if it's clutch or brake....

Just duplicate the circumstances at a time when you don't need to stop, push the clutch and wait to brake until you're fully disenguaged.

Off the top of my head I'd say clutch, just cause you've been having some clutch problems, and with brakes you'll hear the squeaker before they're dead.... although, with the squeaky brakes anyway, I wonder if this might be missed....

Well, try the diagnosis step first, then take a look at your pads.

I can get my car to squeak just by the amount of break pressure I apply and if I am at a creep.
