If you can do the work just do it why test it not smart IMO.

Ya clutch job and all the other goodies are in my near future if I actually start getting some MOTHERFUCKING hours at work.

So what the hell do you replace when the car makes the noise when the clutch ISN'T depressed? When I push it in there is no noise, but when I let it out it gets a little rattly.

If you really want, you can disassemble the trans and replace the input shaft and layshaft bearings. But most people call that "Getrag rattle" (ZF320s do it too) and live with it.

Also, some report decreased input shaft rattle after putting Redline in their trans. You may want to give that a try (didn't work for me, but your mileage may vary).

u got change the clutch bearing and throw out bearing

No. You need to learn to read.

I'm pretty sure James had this noise even after rebuilding his tranny. I think it is just something that you have to deal with like Wh33lhop said.

are you talking bout criv? we didn't rebuild his tranny, we just changed the input shaft bearing. It did not fix the "getrag rattle"

I melted a TB in mine, replaced it and all was good. Started as a slight grind/rattle, then that turned into a full on squeal as well as not wanting to change gears. I just replaced the whole clutch assembly and all was good.

WTF is a clutch bearing?????????
are you trying to say the pilot bearing in the end of the crankshaft?

ohh, and I wouldn't ride too long on a really noisy trans.-- when it does decide to blow apart it WILL take out a bunch of stuff with it- that wouldn't have needed to be replaced if it was done before it comes apart.
