Clutch noise


Recommended Posts

My 88 dr wagon has recently developed a bearing noise at low rpm that goes away when driving; no noise at idle. I think it is either the pilot bearing or the release bearing. Having just switched the motor in early August, I'm not too enthused about pulling the motor again.

 

If the noise is from either of these two bearings, what's the worst case for a failure? Any other possibility for the noise?

when you clutch, it's noise as bad?

Update: The noise actually was coming from the power steering pump and not the clutch bearings. Had a spare power steering pump and now the noise is gone.

 

Anyone ever rebuild a power steering pump?
