clutch throw out bearing sound?


Recommended Posts

So I had my clutch replaced about two weeks ago this friday. It woerks fine but I notice a sort of whirring or whistling sound. It is not always present and when it is if I press on the clutch just a bit the sound is gone. I've spoken with the guy who did and he said he could help but didn't seem to think it was a concern. Shuold I be worried about future complications with this?

Yea, I second that. Something isnt right, hard to say excatly though. Could be he didnt lube correctly. Could be a bad bearing. It's not "nothing to worry about" though. It could be something that wont fail the bearing till 20,000 miles later....then for sure you cant take it back.

 

I had to replace a throwout w/ 60,000 mi on it that was making the same whirring/whistling noise while it was unloaded. Sound would go away with the slightest touch of the clutch pedal. When I tore it apart all the lube points were bone dry and the races of the bearing were loose.
