I was wondering what might be my problem
There is a noise in the clutch area when I take off in first and in any other gear just cant hear it as well, and when I coast in third at a decent speed.

The sound is not relative to how high I rev the motor to take off in first, the sound is relative to how fast I am moving. It’s like a metal on metal sound.

Also when the car is just in neutral it has whirling sound, that disappears when I depress the clutch.

I think it might be the through out bearing but im not sure.

And if so, do I have to remove the tranny completely to change the bearing or can the tranny slide back enough to get at it?

Has anybody done this???

Thanks for the help

 

i have the same noise problem only i get it more from going reverse....yes it might be the throwout bearing and you have to move the tranny completely to get it out...if possible you might wanna change the clutch while your at it...if it has some waer on it

 

There has been about 4 threads on this topic the last two nights. Sounds like a throw out bearing. Yes you have to remove the tranny. And while your at it change the clutch unless it's new and the last dummy didn't change the throw out bearing. And while your at it resurface the flywheel, change the pilot bearing and I changed my rear eccentric shaft seal while I was there.

 

so i have to pull the tranny all the way out of the car the, arg.

what type of performance clutch should i get, throw out bearing, ect

how high do i have to get the car up to remove the tranny, i dont have access to a lift, and im on a budget
thanks
