[jkotsa]

Hi guy as the title says every time i start the car up and i go to push in the clutch i get a whining noise? But after i start to drive for a bit

and i depress the clutch that noise disapears. This just started happening suddenly. </br>

my car is a r33 s2 with a cushion button clutch. any ideas will be greatly appreciated.</br>cheersJim

sounds to be your throw out bearing

couldnt possibly be ur spigot bearing aswell.

2x spigot bearing.

Mine is shot too, sounds like a straight cut gearset

Mine has the same problem.

I wouldn't worry about it to much unless it get's really bad.

How are your guys gear boxes holding up? The synchros in mine are a bit worn i think.

Is anyone else having any problems with there gear changes my clutch is a twin plate rpm type it's not slipping..

yeah its just abit annoying but the gearbox is ok i think??my main concern is that sometimes it feels abit crunchy and other times fine???hard to explain.

Hi does anyone know how much it would cost to replace the spigot bearing? When i got the clutch installed roughly 6-9month ago im sure they charged me extra to fix this or replace the spigot bearing and for it to break again is fu####en unbeleivable.

more than likely they didnt soak it in oil like you are meant to so its worn out again its not a bearing its a brass bush,

It will be the input shaft bearing. Definitely not the spiggot and unlikely to be the clutch throw out bearing.

Input shaft bearing noise - Common for the RB20 box's in almost any condition and common in the rb25 and 26 box's that are thrashed.

Eventually they will fail. Generally smash a gear or two due to the bearings being noisy/slack/loose creating tooth mesh issues.
