Thread: damn trans noise ....

Well I have a ticking noise now ( started tonight and it is pretty loud) when the car is running , drivign ect , but it goes away at the slightest touch of the clutch pedal , or even a little pressure on the clutch arm , so I am guessing I have a throw out bearing problem , or there is somthing going on with the clutch .....so oh yeah it get to come apart again when I get some time ....oh fun , any body else have any ideas ...

throwout bearing. no question.

stupid thing was new when the car went together too.....oh well , this will be fun , I have never pulled the trans out of the car with out the motor as well ....

and all the gears are working fine?

oh year ....I just went tothe store in it and did several pulls in all gears , burning them through 4th , and you cant here the noise till you stop orat low speed , then just touch the clutch pedal and it is disapears...

yeah its the throwout bearing making some noise.

They always do, get used to it. Every aftermarket clutch ive owned has either done it from the start, or eventually made it.

Ticking is the worst of it, when the start whining is when they are annoying.

Mine does this sometimes for several years now. With two different new oem throwout bearings. See how it feels when idling at a light if you let the clutch up slow. On mine that will almost totally stop the sound. It may have just spit off one of the clips. I found one shredded up behind my flwheel one time.

Its a clutchmasters unsprung street disc and an ACT heavy duty pressure plate on a 16ve flywheel fwiw. OEM cable with spacer.

I have act complete clutch kit, rated at 290 ft lbs or something, no noise from it.

well I was looking around in the garage and I remembered I had a original 24k mile throwout bearing , I might just use this one , and if it goes out , I might start looking for other options ....
