Did it happen all the time or was it just sporadic. I am getting the HID recall done next week and the clutch has been making noises lately. Oh by the way, I am at 34,700.

Mine would happen sporadically at first, and as time went on it got more consistent. I finally mastered the art of making it happen, and took it to the dealer and made them ride with me while I made it happen, and then I made the service manager drive my car while I instructed him on how to do it. He finally got the hang of it and they decieded to replace it. This was an ongoing process over 4months......alll I have to say is if they say no....be persistent.

Care to share the way you made it happen. I know it may not work on my car but it can't hurt to try. Thanks.

Is there a TSB for the 2k 5spd?
Mine does it on takeoff in 1st gear.

I had this done last November. I only had about 18,000 miles on it when it became more frequent. I waited until it was more frequent before taking it in to have them look at it. They were able to duplicate it the first time. They actually put the parking brake on and then let off the clutch in first gear. Voila, that annoying howl appeared. Hope that helps.

I have not had a problem since. I now have almost 46,000 miles on the car.
