KA24de Slight Clutch Grind Noise (Video inside)

[Jukebox]

Everytime I press the clutch in, the grind goes away. Everytime i release the clutch the noise comes back. whether its in neutral or gear. Still makes the noise...At :30 seconds you can hear what I'm talking about...

Have you ever had the clutch replaced? Mine was making a similar noise and it was my flywheel bolts. One bolt was backing out and the clutch disk was grinding on it.

No dont know the condition of the clutch, but it still grabs really well. Thats what i was afraid of i just didnt want to drop the tranny but i think i have no choice...

Throw out bearing?? Since when u pushed the clutch in it faded. Mine was more of a whine though. Any problems going into any gears? Reverse is usually the first to give you troubles...

Throw out bearing

[Jukebox]

You hit the nail on the head, reverse gives me trouble almost everytime. I actually have to put it in first then shift to reverse for it to work.

I thought throw out bearing was only when it made a noise when you pushed the clutch in, not when you release it..

NO, its the input shaft bearing, i have the same issue, its an internal problem

Would that cause the issues with reverse also or just the noise?

[Hb180sx]

i highly doubt it, sometimes my reverse doesnt go in smoothly too until i go to 1st then reverse. if the noise bugs you get another trans, mines been doing it for 2 years but i recently picked up a temporary one so i can rebuild mine

2 years? if that's the case ill just let it go...Did the noise get worse over the span of that time?

Throw out bearing...$60 tops for it already pushed in, which I recommend unless you have machine/tool is almost impossible, but surely beats sitting at a light and one day it not go into gear and there you are... Poof be input shaft...BUT, like I said, more peace at mind. My trans always whined, but thats just the KA trans for you lol. Never had gear oil cause it would not hold it...Idk like I said rather have peace at mind and might just fix your problem.

Btw...when/if u do this, save yourself trouble and don't drop the trans, pull the motor with the trans connected and then take it apart, personal experience lol

I originally thought mine was the throw out bearing but when we pulled the clutch you could tell. If it is your throw out, AutoZone had mine for $25-$30?

Best bet is pull the trans and investigate.

[Hb180sx]

true, only reason i knew mine was the input shaft bearing was because i got a new clutch kit and once installed it still made the noise
