So my car makes a grinding noise under load but if I’m just coasting the “ grinding “
Goes away. We pulled the tranny and Noel noticed the throw-out bearing is spinning
With ease and “grinding “ check out the video. Does this look right?
I really hope this is the problem. I know I could just replace it but I want to be sure beforehand. I planned on putting in a loner tranny until mine was fixed .
Hopefully it’s just the TOB !

Bearing should be free floating when in gear. Only time it might make noise it when the clutch is engaged.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) My bug has a release bearing going bad, I only hear it when I press the clutch pedal. But I say that bearing is pretty well done.

BTW never rest your foot on the clutch pedal, it will shorten the life of the bearing big time. Also it's important that you have 1/2"-3/4" free play on the pedal so the bearing releases fully.
