Bad clutch???

BAMSPE1901 · Jan 5, 2004

I'm having some strange noises come from my clutch the last few days...

when I'm just barely putting pressure on it, like my foot resting on it, I get a noise that sounds something like a whistle or sqeak, not too loud, but definately not normal. When shifting gears I also get some slight squeeky sounds...

My clutch went out when I first got the car at like 50k miles...I'm at 97k now...ANY SUGGESTIONS!?!?!

It sounds like the clutch cable to me. Can you sort of feel it in the clutch when you depress it?

another vote for the TOB. I have had two now and just spray with some lithium grease every month or so.

throw-out bearing... sounds almost like a belt slipping just not as bad.

So the throw out bearing it is....

any tips on how to lube with lithium grease??? i really dont know where this TOB is...

Is replacing the TOB labor intensive? How much will this run me?

yup...get that cover off the side and get a can with a spray straw/tube and shoot it real good...and keep it off the clutch and P/P

You could spend a half day replacing it and it might do it again in a years...It just needs greasing

you have to pull the transmission to replace. may want to upgrade the clutch while you're at it. you can remove the access plate and spray as mentioned before.
