Sorry im at work & cant hear the audio but does your tranny make a winding/grinding noise until you press the clutch in?

[rvas13]

it dosen't make any noise until i release the clutch..once it makes contact it make a wining grinding noise then when i push the clutch in it goes away. does it in 1-3 BUT in reverse it will do it and when i disengage the clutch it still does it until i take it out of gear

you need a new throw out bearing yours is going out. while at it you might as well replace the rear main seal too since youre taking the tranny out. worth every penny and plus the time since you are replacing the throw out bearing.

mines is the total opposite... makes noise sometimes when i press the clutch

rvas13 (http://zilvia.net/f/members/rvas13.html) Yup thats a throw out bearing just replace it, had that happen on my old coupe

s13silvia123 (http://zilvia.net/f/members/s13silvia123.html) how difficult is it to change the rear main seal? im going to swap my clutch out this weekend & might change out that rear main since you said id be a good deal.

ok word! thanks for the input. it was what i thought but i just needed a second opinion. other than that the car is healthy. how much do they run for like 35-40?

not too hard some people use a flat head screw driver to take it out or unbolt the rear main seal housing out after you take the flywheel out. i would just take the housing out cause its easier and plus you wont have any scores on the housing or the crank shaft.
