Loud noise

mrpeeper · Jun 17, 2008, 04:16 PM

okay so 5,000 miles after putting in my new clutch throw out bearing and pressure plate in its making a loud grinding noise at idle but when u push the clutch in it goes away. But i can also hear the noise when i start off in first gear.

Anyone have any ideas? throw out bearing? input or pilot bearing? Not enough clutch play maube i have to adjust the pedal?

Could be the throwout bearing.

i dont think its the throw out bearing cause the noise goes away when i push in the pedal but idk how u would adjust the pedal im pretty sure its self adjusting but it doesnt feel soft or anything if u push in the pedal an inch or 2 the clutch is disengaged so idk anyone?

If it goes away when you push the clutch in it could be the TOB.

No, the TOB only spins when the pedal is pushed in. If the noise went away when RELEASING the pedal, it could be the TOB. Did you put the clutch disc in backwards?

Search brother.

HOW TO: clutch pedal adjustment

That's a howto for an EVO, but should be the same thing for our cars too.

A lot of people have reported his exact problem and it was the TOB.

its the throw out bearing all the way like everyone else said if your not gonna believe what we tell ya then i dont know why you would even ask.

it was the input shaft bearing it basically exploded lol gear oil was coming out of the bell housing so guess im looking for a new trans and clutch kit

Why a new trans? Just have it rebuilt.

If it messed up the shaft itself it's pretty much totalled. It's worth tearing open though to have a look. Just FYI a throwout bearing will make noise when the clutch pedal is depressed, and quiet down while the clutch is engaged. There's no way a TOB could make noise with the clutch out because it's just sitting there not doing anything.

when you put the clutch down to the floor your disengaging it making it so its not mating with the motor. so as a fyi from what he wrote it was more of a TOB just like my issue. so it would make a noise if its in neutral wit the clutch out since it would be spinnin. thats why its not good to rev your motor with clutch not disengaged since you'll wear out your tob early. - - maybe you should find me somewhere why the tob spins when clutch is in and not out. cuz i dont believe that. but ya try and get it rebuilt might be worth it.

mcgarvey · Jun 26, 2008, 05:12 AM

Because when the clutch pedal is in, the release fork and TOB are pressing up against the diaphragm springs in the pressure plate, which is spinning. Therefore, the TOB spins. Every car works exactly the same way.
