okay guys i have this really loud whining noise when teh car is at ideal. When it sits there its sometimes really loud and sometimes quite but the problem is when i press the clutch all the way in the noise goes away.

has anyone experienced the same problem.

thanks


PS sometimes its a struggle to get in some gears, but when i put it back in netural and then back towards the gear it works

i just hit 10,500 miles on my 04

 

Do a search for throw out bearing. That should be the culprit.

 

yeah i did do a search and saw alot of threads consuring throw out bearing but i didnt know if my whining noise was the same

 

More than likely the throwout bearing

 

More than likely the throwout bearing is causing the noise, since almost every throwout bearing will cause some noise. Ask the dealer flukies or just compare your noise to other Z's. If you noise is much louder, you need a replmt bearing.

 

if htey replace the tranny does the throw out bearings get replace too

becuase they are gettting me a new tranny.

 

Not necessary to replace the bearing when you have tranny off. It is, however extremely foolish to not replace the bearing at that time since you will have the expensive part of the job (tranny off) anyway.

It's also a good time to make any clutch/flywheel repairs or upgrades.

 

well i checked 350z and g35.....

and makes same noise

 

can the clutch be replaced for free too u think? or what about hte flywheel

 

If you have the tranny off, the additional labor charges to replace the clutch/flywheel should not be more than about $80. The clutch/flywheel represents about 15 minutes extra work.

 

how much would the parts cost?

 

I've been told countless times, the noise is normal.
