Crazy Clutch Sound...Please Halp!
Ok guys, I am having a wierd issue with my fd and need your help.
Backround:
About a year ago I replaced my tranny, clutch, flywheel, and bearings. Everything ran wonderfully til about 2 weeks ago. NOW I get a really wierd noise coming from the clutch area.
When I push in the clutch (either in gear or not) I get this metal on metal rubbing noise. I thought that the clutch wasn't engaging all the way at first, so I tightened it up all the way so the clutch engages way back. It also makes the noise between shifting. If I am sitting still and the clutch is not engaged it makes no noise. If I push the clutch in it starts making this rubbing noise, but not constant. Just on and off. It is not like a bearing. I had that problem before (shaft support bearing) that is why I changed the tranny.
Any thoughts or idea?
I can't think of anything else to tell ya'll, but let me know if anything else could tip ya'll off.
thanks,
-josh

Sounds like a bad throwout bearing, or less likely, the pilot bearing.

pilot bearing, guarenteed...
been all through this, check the snub on your input shaft, i ended up having to swap transmissions so it'd quit eating pilot bearings

^^^^great....I just changed this tranny about a year ago because the shaft support bearing was shot, and about three syncros were shot. Hope I don't have to do this again.
thanks guys,
