Squeak/squeal?

[Guest Des5001]

Hey i did a search and didnt get any clear answers.

i have a squeak when takin off when releasing the clutch and also the squeak comes in when goin down from 4th to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd, just when the revs have to climb quick. when i ride the clutch and release slowly it dont happen, what do u think it is?

also when i accelerate quick in first gear a loud squeal comes in, this is now startin to happen in 2nd, the belts are all tight so i doubt its them so is it something to do with the clutch? i have no idea what it could possible be!

thanks for your help

I have exactly the same problem.. It started from when i installed my front mount and my Xtreme clutch. i Checked all my cooler pipes and its not rubbing, and my belts are also tight, so i think its my clutch aswell, as wen i ride the clutch it doesn't make a noise either.. Do you notice if the noise goes away after a few minutes of driving? or wen the engines warm?

[Guest Des5001]

the noise when takin of goes away if i rev higher when takin off, the temp of the car dont make a difference, also after givin the car a boot full the squeak goes away for a short period of time, its got me stumped!!

i have this problem also.

Squeals when i slowly release the clutch when reversing, and releasing when downshifting at high revs.

hasnt affected any performance, but its had me worried for quite some time.

My standard clutch never did this.

Only started after i installed the Xtreme heavy duty... occured about 3 months after use

I've had a suggestions such as replacing the thrust bearing (but havent got to that yet).

Has anyone diagnosed a similar problem?

time to change your throwout bearing.

[Luciano]

throwout bearing hey?

what sort of pricerange we looking at?

yea its ur bearing dude, i had the same problem, but i just replaced the whole clutch because it was due for a upgrade, but the mechanic told it was that.

throw out bearings are around the $20mark..but then you have to get the box out and then back in..

[Luciano]

that would explain it. I dont think the throwout was changed when i put the new clutch in. (i wasnt supplied with one - clutch fell off back of a truck!)

cheers for your help guys, much appreciated.
