Clutch Problem

[Vlad_318iS]

Hey guys! I need your help.

SO, a couple of weeks ago I started hearing some weird semi high pitch sound coming from the engine bay. You could only hear it when you depress the clutch pedal.

I was meaning to find out what it is and try fixing it..but got busy and was hoping its no big deal.

SO, today it got even worse. When in neutral, a really high pitch noise comes on and off randomly but I can always shut it off by depressing the clutch maybe and inch - inch and a half (the little play that it has)

ALSO, when in neutral and I depress the clutch all the way down I can feel and hear something working hard (maybe like a sort of grinding in the tranny). Through the pedal I feel as if something is grinding and the pedal is giving off vibrations.

I don't understand the whole transmission much but I am a quick learner so ANY help will be greatly appreciated!:)

Its your TOB (throw out bearing) <---- Spelling?

Mine did the same thing just before it went all the way. Change it now, it will save you some stress in the future.

it sounds like the TOB. its a bearing on the input shaft of your tranny. cost abou $45~50. pain in the ass to replace but not that hard
