I keep hearing my car make a not so loud high pitched howling noise when I change gears between 1-2 and 2-3 for the most part. I am sure its a throw out bearing, but dont know the consequences of riding like that without bringing it in to the shop.

Anyone else notice this?

 

I have sounds when switching gears, and the clutch stutters. I realized this when a valet guy was driving my car and I heard something that sounded like rattling under my car when he switched gears. I started listening to it and I hear it all the time now. What about if you're idling in your car with your foot on the clutch? When you let go of the clutch do you hear a loud click and then it sounds like air blowing? I have that. I believe those are symptoms of a bad throwout bearing right?

 

Have the same crap on my 04 Z with only 6K miles on it. Up for anyone who knows what is causing it.

 

I go to the dealership tomorrow so we will hopefully see whats going on here.

 

What did the dealer find?

 

they found the sound to be "normal" as I was hoping wouldnt be the case. I will be taking it to a second dealership on monday.

 

Any update on this?

 

they found everything normal and have had others say the same thing. The attribute it to the large flywheel and the throw out bearing.

I am just not gonna worry about it anymore.
