Danny Salling 0 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 When the car is in neutral and i dont push down the clutch pedal i can hear a noise that sounds like a bearing gone bad, but when i push down the clutch the noise stops. Is it the highspeed axel bearing(i think thats what its called)or the "clutch" bearing(the one that goes back and forth everytime you use the clutch). Link to post Share on other sites

Phat VR6 3 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Im affard it sounds like the gearbox layshaft bearing has gone. This shaft spins all the time while the clutch is upthe noise goes away when you push the clutch down because this shaft is no longer spinning If it was the clutch release bearing then you would hear it when you rest your foot on the clutch or push your clutch down....

Danny Salling 0 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Is that expensive to replace? I cant do it my self because i dont know anything about tranys :-( Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 2nd hand box is the cheepest way... Check your gearbox oil level first as it could just need toping up.. I had a car that made this noise for 2 years before i wrote it off and it still didn't let go.. Id leave it if i was you as you might find it will last another few years Link to post Share on other sites
