Name this noise (from tranny)

akapaul · 05-13-2004, 11:05 AM

With the car running and the gear is set to neutral.

1) engage the clutch - the 'noise' stops
2) disengage the clutch - the 'noise' comes back

It seems to be coming out of the tranny. Sounds like a little ticking noise. At other times the noise does not come up at all.

Now I'm thinking it's a throwout bearing needing to be replaced. I just refilled the tranny with Redline MT-90 (all 4 quarts) so I doubt the level is low.

Any suggestions?

Judging by the symptoms, yep, I'd say throwout bearing!

Did you just replace the clutch? Is the new one a clutchnet? If so its the throw out bearings. Ive seen a lot of posts about people installing the clutchnet TO and having the same problem. Me included. I dropped my tranny again and put in an OEM new part and it went away.

I just put in the clutchnet throwout bearing and I havnt heard anything...but now since I said that it'll start as soon as I go and start my car

But yeah, I agree w/ the throwout bearing as well..

Thats not the T/O bearing , if the clutch is pushed in and the noise goes away .....take your foot off the clutch and the noise comes back it is a transmission bearing...

Which one is the transmission bearing? I ask because I changed trannies and the noise was till there until I chaged the T/O.

Hmm, usualy the T/O bearing will only make noise when you push on the clutch , not when the clutch pedal is out ...

OK so I'm presuming it's the T/O bearing. How safe/unsafe is it to drive around like that?

I'm positive it's the throw out bearing.
