Strange Noise

[Big Boi]

I have 1998 GT when cold I get a loud wine coming from under the car during start up it has about 116,000 miles. Any ideas of what this could be?

Clutch throw-out bearing...if you have a 5 speed...

Does it change pitch when you hit the clutch?

It stops after about a minute or so, but I have been getting that throw out bearing chatter noise for a while. When I go from 1st to 2nd at low rpm it just rattles like crazy.

Are you sure the noise is under the car? Those funny noise like to travel and resonate making you think it's somewhere it isnt.

Could be a pulley or something going bad.

I am going to have to take a closer look in the morning. Wake my girlfriend up have her yell at me for 15 minutes then have her crank it while I get under the hood.

Oh...only during cranking? Pull the fuel pump fuse so it won't start. Might help in locating the problem.

Looks like it the clutch when cold I noticed that the noise is louder. Afer a few seconds the sound gets lower then when I pump the clutch the sound gets louder.
