My car is a T5 swap I bought back in March. I noticed a sound from the tranny a few weeks after I brought it home (unfortunately the shop that did the change is no longer in business): a chatter sound (almost like a clutch fork noise) when the the clutch was depressed and in gear, AND a light squealing/heavier chatter when letting out the clutch (especially in reverse with a little gas).
I recently pulled the tranny, and found the flywheel and had some severe smooth spots (like someone had hotrodded it after changing the clutch--the clutch was fairly new). I decided to replace the clutch and get the flywheel re-surfaced thinking this may be the issue.
With everything back together, the chatter sound when the clutch is depressed is barely audible, but the squeal when letting it out is still there, though not as loud.
Should I change the throwout bearing? From what I know, the T5 in the car is from an '88 GT. The car is otherwise stock.
Any ideas are appreciated.
