ok not to long ago my max started to make a weird noise when the clutch was depressed.. and when i would press the clutch in the noise would go away. It got worse now. Anywayz its making the noise now even when i'm in gear.. mostly 1st and 2nd. What could it be? should i change my transmission oil? i only have 40k

 

Is your car still under the powertrain warranty? At 40k, is should be, but since it's a 98, I'm not entirely too sure. You should check incase is it is a tranny prob.

 

The powertrain warranty is for 5 yrs/60K miles, whichever comes first.
Check your clutch fluid and make sure you have enough. However, make sure you have someone check your tranny before it gets any worse.

 

Throw out bearing???

 

those hard shifting. and racing

 

 

if its a bearing.. is that expensive?

 

27 bucks.

 

If it is the throw-out bearing, it will require removal of the transmission. Because of that, it can be expensive. Do you have any friends with power or air tools? If so, you may want to consider doing it. Labor for the throw-out bearing will be around $300-$500 if you go to a shop....

 

All this trouble for a $27 part. What a wonderful world.







I hope you people have hookups...
