When pressing down on the clutch pedal (clutch disengaged) I hear a high pitch whining/whirring noise. Happens whether the car is moving or not. Noise does not happen with the clutch engaged. (clutch pedal released) Car shifts pretty good, but I think I'm running out of room to adjust the clutch on the clutch cable. (Another issue that probably points to something needing replacement)
I've been searching through posts for an hour and my best guess is throwout bearing. Yes? No? And whatever it is, can I make repair without removing the engine? Thanks! |

Here's what's in the Pelican kit:
New Pressure Plate New 911 Clutch Disc New Throw-out Bearing New Pilot Bearing and Felt Ring 2 Throw-out Bearing Guide Clips New Throw-out Fork Bushing 2 CV Joint Gaskets 2 Muffler Gaskets New Flywheel O-Ring New Flywheel Bolts New Flywheel Metal Crush Gasket Clutch Disc Alignment Tool Total: ~$600 Or I can add a flywheel to the kit for an additional $400= a total of $1k. Damn. I could probably find a complete working engine and tranny for that price. Jeez, this is going to be a spendy repair. Thoughts? All items necessary? I am almost looking forward to dropping the engine as I never done it before and could take care of some other things (break some things, too probably), but I am so NOT looking forward to removing the heat exchangers, only because it means putting them back on and possibly finding that I need to install another time-cert for an exhaust stud. Ductech - if you want to team up to help eachother out with the work, let me know! |
