Ok my car has always made kind of a bearing noise that would slowly go away after I push in the clucth Im guessing cause the clucth stops spinning, but now Im getting another noise. It is making a kind of pinging noise going out in first under hard accel, then again in second. It also does like a chirping sound in reverse under accel, but if I put the clucth in it goes away.



Any Ideas?

mine makes a whining noise when my clutch is engaged, also; i'm guessing its some sort of worn out bearing. no surprise, my whole car is worn out...

yeah the bearing noise dosent have me as woried and that pinging noise.

A single ping at each shift? When it happens, is there a clunk feel in the shifter?

Might be the front diff mount going.

i had a "minor" metal to metal sounding noise when the clutch was depressed. turned out to be debris in the pilot bearing.

Naww it is a repetative ping when pulling hard in first and second. It is a metalic sound if I go slow it dosent do it i can go slowly to 7000 RPM in first and it wont do it but if i go WOT from a like 5 mph roll it will start to make the noise.

I have yet to change a clutch in any rotory, but I have heard this before in piston having vehicles.



What about your throw out bearing? Very tell tale sign is the fact that it disappears when the pedal is depressed clutch is disengaged. It is probably there under speed/load too but you cannot hear it. I had a car in that I did not necessarliy pamper and I heard this noise for every bit of 25K miles. Then again I had a Navy vehicle in Japan that the bearing went out very soon after hearing it. The damage was amazing!!! Hope this helps

broken finger on pressure plate

I had a problem with the front bearngs on my trans. The vibration from the bearings caused the bolts on the front cover to back out and hit the clutch. everytime I would get on it, the front cover bolts now sitting in the bell housing would hit the flywheel.



The bearing noise sounds like the throw out or/and the pilot bearing. Change them both.

front cover ??? as in front of the engine or what please explain a little more ???
