clutch or transmission problem

spyder_dsm · 11-18-2010

I know this problem maybe talked to death on this forum but i cant find anything on it.

I'm having a problem with my clutch or transmission. There's a noise coming from it when i rest my foot on the clutch peddle while i'm driving and while with the e-brake on with foot rest on it. the noise is an whistle noise but when i engage it the noise goes away or if i dont rest my foot on it while i drive it's okay and while parked with e-brake on no foot on paddle it's okay please let me know what this is??? the clutch is an ACT 2100. sorry if I dont make any sense it's because i just got off an 16 hour shift thanks

Gonna have to agree with Kerry TOB

so its the throw out bearing huh I kind of thought so too and just wanted to make sure. now if it's just the TOB do I have to replace my clutch too?? because the clutch is only 2 years old.. thanks alot guys.

GsXtUrBo98 · 11-19-2010

If your going through the work I always just replace it but that ones your call.. clutches cost some good money and if your not set on that then just leave it, considering the clutch doesn't have to come off the replace the tob.

One more question.. Will this TOB problem also causes my clutch to slip too??

C3L1CA · 11-19-2010

No it shouldn't make your clutch slip too. If your clutch is slipping I'd replace the clutch along with the throw out bearing.

I don't think it is.. but I was just wondering. I think it is my turbo but not sure.. the reason I ask is because when I go and punch on the gas it has this stutter to it like it'll jerk and speed up and jerk the boost will also drop from 15psi to 8 or 10psi. This is the stock turbo.

Any ideas on what I'm talking about?? any help will be great.

Have you used the search at all? Do a boost leak test. Dont ask what that is either like everyone else does and search it up. After there are NO i mean NO boost leaks then ask more questions.

GsXtUrBo98 · 11-19-2010

Obviously people have less and less patients with the noobs on this site.. ( kerry ) any questions you have you can pm me and I will answer the best I can.. I would say replace the whole clutch setup, but first do a boost leak test.

There is plenty of good information on this forum but to get that information you just need to search. I would take off the trans and do a new clutch and TOB as well as resurface the flywheel. Also do a complete boost leak test and once all the leaks are sealed up let us know how it runs. If it still runs like shit we can further diagnose the issues from there.

LOL good job kerry! A nicer approach

yikez i wonder if he can manage a clutch job. . . if he hasnt done a boost leak test. . . drop his whole transmission . . .when giving advice we should try and emphasize having someone experienced do this or help do this job lol

GsXtUrBo98 · 11-20-2010

Agreed. BUT so far he hasn't mentioned if he knows what a boost leak test is or not. This is assumed.

spyder_dsm · 11-20-2010

boost leak test has been done by me LOL no leaks anywhere checked my turbo and a few of my fin is bent. this was before the TOB was making noise. Did the boost leak test this past summer around end of july and found the bent fins then. Did the clutch myself 2 years ago, and I don't even beat on the clutch and drive the car that much. Thats why I highly think its the clutch slipping when I rethought about it and asked about the turbo. Sorry to sound so newbie about this but all your help is great thanks.
