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 !

Oooo, that dry.

For piece of mind, drain the tranz, look for metal, and pull the side cover. 19mm socket on a impact driver is easy as it is only like 9ft/lb (supposed to be), then 13mm nuts, then soft hammer and tap the side cover off. Once that is done, you can see the one diff bearing, and more importantly, the ring, pinion, one side of the input and pinion bearings, to see if that is the issue. If you really wanna go balls out, pull the stack and inspect thoroughly. A seal kit is all that should cost you if no issue and then you can KNOW how things are.

I worry that your pinion bearing in the plate is toast, though, so may wish to pull tail cone anyway and have a look for metal. Cant really see it without pulling 1st. Need a DVD? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
