I have had my car for about 7mounths or so and ever sense i had the car it seems like the cluth peadal is ticking it seems like the cable that might run from the pedal to im guessing the tranny...i can even feel the pedal shocking if i just lightly hold my foot over the pedal. Of course the nose and shacking stops when i press the pedal. Could this just be a loose cable/rod or could thins be an early worning sign from the tranny??

sounds like the throw out bearing.. does it stop sometimes?

[AndrewA.]

yae most of the time it raddles but every now and than it will stop. What exactly is a throw out bearing?

[WilltheThrill]

A throwout bearing is an important part of your clutch, it does what is says, it throws the clutch pedal back out and allows the clutch assembly to return to a disengaged position when not shifting gears...If you let it get any worse, eventually your clutch will freeze and you wont be able to shift gears.

mine does it too, it always has. and sometimes it squeaks when the clutch is all the way out too... its pretty fucking annoying i'm about to drop the tranny and put a new clutch and throwout bearing in it.

[AndrewA.]

It is really annoying...is this a repair that is costly?? Is it worth the money to just get a new performence clutch and bearing??

[B0B]

that i dont know, the clutch and bearing aren't too spendy.. but the labor is probably gonna be a lot. unless you do it yourself that is..

You could do just the throwout bearing and that isnt expensive at all. But since you still have to drop the tranny you would be best off to just buy a new clutch and do it all at once.

it isnt cheap at all i just had a new clutch and all put in after everything was said and done it cost me around 550 dollars.. and mine is back to doing what your talking about.. so when this one goes i'll be learning how to do it myself..

+1
My new cluctch goes in tomorrow. Not cheap at all. I was going to buy an aluminum fly wheel, but that would have put it over $650 from AM. While your there may as well replace the rear main seal. Cheap part and it's right there when you remove the clutch.

you know, mine has been doing the same thing for a while now and i was wonder wtf it was. and today i was gonna ask y'all. but looks like andrewA beat me to it. lol

Doug does the work on my car. $200 for labor, I supply the parts.

thats not too bad, i do everything myself on my car so i can save a pretty big bundle that way. its really nice having a shop with all the tools i need.
