ticking noise

[nissanpower]

hey guys.. after doing abit of thread digging, found that my inpurt shaft bearing is stuffed. how did this happen..

well when the clutch is out on idle, it makes an annoying ticking sound from the gearbox. when the clutch is depressed the noise goes away. is this a common problem with r33s

anyway i just want to know if this problem is worth fixing

how much would it roughly costs to fix this input shaft bearing

i had my new clutch installed a couple months ago. hd bb 5puck

and oil changed at the same time. has this got anything to do with the ticking problem i have???

any help thanks

a friend of mine had a similar problem when he first got his car from japan after he gave it a service (oil, plugs) it got quieter.

i htink u will find its the clutch bearing or something like that round the clutch

a mate of mien has the same prob on his xr8 sprint that hes too lazy to fix

it makes a ticking noise while driving sometimes too

I have the same idea as "KamikazeR33" its probebly your cluthrelase bearing thats screwed. if you have the posebility to lift up your car do it and listen. probebly tha problem.

if the bearing thats supports the inputshaft to the gearbox would be f***ed it should sound all the time and you should get a WERY nasty sound when you put your foot down.

nah u can only hear it abit kinda.. not really loud

well u can hear it in neutral when the clutch is out

or in gear with the clutch engaged whilst driving you can hear it

im pretty sure its the input shaft bearing

ive got that sound. its the front end bearing of the gearbox. to repair it means rebuilding the gearbox, not worth fixing. wait until the box dies and buy a 2nd hand one, easy!
