so out of nowhere my s13 started making some grinding noise when i engaged the clutch, then after it would make the noise when i would let go of the throttle. after 30 minutes it stopped?dont know if its the tob or input shaft bearing or something far worse... its a ka24e by the way. dont know if its enough info on the situation. but thanks.. im really thinking about just swapping an sr. any info on my problem and locations for good swaps would be awesome. thanks zilvia!

Sounds like a bad TOB...

How many miles?
Has the clutch ever been changed?
Noise in any gear?

but it stopped doing it after a while.. just hope it aint the synchros

well did a 5speed swap a couple months ago and used the same clutch since it had meat on it
as for the noise.. it happens only when i let off the throttle and when i pushed in the clutch.

That's the T/O bearing.

throw out bearing, my civic went out like that before, it ended up smoking and melted so change it before it gets worse

[moth]

if its the tob then ima just get a clutchkit and kill a gaggle of geese with one sstone

@bkt808 did it stop griding after a while or it just kept doing ot

[bkt808]
