Electromagnetic Clutch Issue
Bearing was replaced seven months ago, along with a pulley swap and the saver kit. Not sure how long the bearing lasts, but I started getting a loud noise a couple months.
Noise is only evident under low throttle. But when the supercharger engages, the noise goes away completely.. So that would be a bearing issue and not clutch? However, when I spin the clutch by hand, I get a grinding noise from it. So I'm kinda lost on what to replace.
Just an irritating noise, people turing there heads and stuff when I drive by haha.. so gotta figure this out. Thanks!

If there is no noise when the clutch is engaged then it sounds like there is not a big enough gap between the clutch plates. Bearing would make noise in either case. Do you have the minimum .21 gap or whatever it is?
