Third gear went adios on my bud's car a while ago and he's been double clutching to get around. We picked up an eta trans (he's got an i). and went to shove it in yesterday and decided to test it out before putting EVERYTHING back on. The TO bearing spun freely and looked new (no wear marks on the face of the mating surface and no rust anywhere).
We start the car, and while the clutch is in (foot on pedal), it grinds. Clutch off (foot off pedal) it's fine minus a small amount of chatter when the starter is engaging.
Usually, I'd say TO bearing. But it looked brand new (pretty sure it is brand new).
Notes:
Didn't touch the clutch AT ALL
Starter alignment plate is probably in correctly.
Pilot bearing fell out and was fairly easy to finger press it all the way back in
I wasn't drinking when we did this.
Thoughts?
