hey guys,
well i was in the drive threw at Chic Fillet and i turned down the music and put the car in N and then i hear this rattle/vibrating/chatter right as i release the clutch. I pushed the clutch back in and the noise disappeared. I have 116k miles and it still is the stock clutch. Could it be a sign that its about to go? Is it just becuase its getting cold out? Any experiences with this? Anything is greatly appricated.

 

today it has started to whine and make a vibrating noise while i drive at low speeds. I think its the diaphram spring rattling. I think the clutch is going. BUMP

BUMP!!!! 10 char...

 

sounds like tranny bearings going, more specifically input shaft bearing

 

i wouldnt say throwout bearing because the noise goes away when the clutch is pressed in and the throwout bearing is in use... when the clutch is released ( in neutral) the input shaft is engaged to the engine and is spinning... when the bearings go they make a grinding noise in neutral and while driving in lower gears

 

humm, well know i think its my differential bearings. The tranny is making a loud noise in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Its like a coke can stuck in a little kids bike tire. Im trying 2 find: 1. I30 VLSD tranny, 2. 01 AE VSLD Tranny(ya right), 3. rebuild mine, or 4. 5th gen tranny. What do you guys think?

Thanks
