Ok I just got back from a test drive in my car and I have an odd problem.

when I am decelerating in gear with out touhing th clutch I hear a "chirping" noise from what sounds like the lower right side of my Tranny housing. It actualy sounds like it is coming fro my passenger floor beside the tranny tunnel, but Im sure it isnt.

any one have an idea as to what I should look for?

Does it go away with the clutch in?

 

could be a bird trapped in your engine bay.

cheers'

 

yes if I press the clutch it goes away.

and I already did the customarry bird check. no birdies there.

May be the throwout bearing. Thats all I can think of that chirps.

 

ok i had the same problem, you gotta pull out the tranny. it can be one or more of following bearings which are all cheap (beside pulling out the tranny):
1. Pilot Bearing
2. Throw-out bearing
3. Input-shaft bearing for Tranny

mine was all of them and the noise was gone after change.

 

input shaft bearing is a biiitch to get out,took me two hours and 4 beers

thats where i put the cheers sign but its not working

 

for the input shaft, you need a bearing puller for sure, good luck getting it out with a screwdriver and hammer.
