Whenever I start my car when its cold and press the clutch, its making an awful rattling sound, even at idle. The noise increases as a push on the clutch pedal and from my research on here and YouTube, it sounds like the throw-out bearing on the transmission.
The odd part of all of this is that it only happens when the engine is cold. Once I let her warm up for a few minutes, the noise is gone by the time I'm leaving the house (Reverse, then Forward, then no more sound) Everything seems to be shifting fine and the noise disappears. Something is going on down there, do you guys think its safe, mechanically, to drive it like this for awhile or will a worn throw-out cause more damage? Seems like an easy fix as soon as I can get time to drop the tranmission. |

Hmmm... pray I'm wrong on this one.
You have to figure out a way to push/pull the fan and check for play. You might be able to pry the flywheel through the little window on the bottom of the trans. You looking to see how much end play the crank has, .006" is the limit which would be barely noticeable by eye. If it goes clunk-clunk, as in lots of play, or you can definitely see it move, that's bad news. |

K. Will try that.
Why exactly is it bad news, and any thoughts on why it would only happen when engine is very cold? ALso, the engine only has about 1000 miles on it since it was rebuilt. No issues until now.
