When im going down the road and let of the gas something make a weird scratching noise. I think it from the tranny. The noise gets slower as the car slows down and if i push the clutch it stops. I think it stops if I put it in neutral- i cant remember for sure.

What do you guys think it is?

 

perhaps it is a bearing in the trans going

 

have you checked the fluid level on it??

 

Yeah ive check the fluid. Its good. It might be really old though. I havent changed it since i got it a few months back. Dont know when last owner did.

 

Well my friend. Start there.

 

alright i will. Thanks

 

anybody have any other ideas?

 

perhaps it is your inputshaft bearings going

 

Is it in every gear or just one gear, or just a few? If its only one gear, your syncro's could be wearing out.

 

I had this problem... and REGRETFULLY, I ignored it. Now, I need to rebuild the tranny, because the input shaft bearings went dry, and damn near seized up the tranny.

well if i took it to a tranny shop would they be able to tell me what was wrong from the noise?

 

My dad knows a guy that will take a ride with me to hear and hopefully find the problem.

 

when you say the imput shaft bearing are you reffering to the pilot bearing?

 

It could be noise from the driveshaft also.Do you hear any noise under acceleration yet(kind of clicking/creaking sound)?

 

Uhh, Im not sure. Im going out right now so ill post what I hear tonight.
