obskermit Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 2000 impreza outback sport 2.2L 5spd manual 85K miles I have been noticing a low toned squealing sound from the front (maybe transmission/clutch) when I give fairly hard gas as im letting off of the clutch. It is not wheel spin. Im not sure but it may be coming from the clutch. It has only appeared in the last 3K miles or so, but it seems to be getting worse. No noticeable decline in performance though. Any ideas what it might be and a remedy? Could it be a worn clutch plate or bad throw off bearing? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Probably pilot or throwout bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obskermit Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Is it somthing i need to get cheked out/repaired right away? Will it be expensive? I can do a lot myself but digging into the transmission is a little above my abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 In all honesty it really is premature for a bearing to fail at this low a mileage (or have you been hard on the clutch. Does the noise go away with your foot off the clutch? nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 nip, mine was just beyond that mileage. My pilot bearing had no seal and the grease washed out if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
