So this started kinda recent sometime when I get start car up from a cold start SOMETIMES will get a weird screeching till I give lil gas then goes away. Then while idle will sometimes have a weird noise an as I push the clutch in it changes??

Any ideas? I searched an couldn't find anything with exact same problems

Screeching - check for a loose or glazed drive belt.

Noise that goes away when clutch pedal is pushed down - this is typically the sign of a bad main bearing (e.g., input shaft bearing) in the transmission.

Ok than you a friend of mine was saying prob throwout bearing? Also what exactly is a glazed belt? Thanx for ur input!

Former User

A bad throw out bearing would typically make noise only when the clutch pedal is pushed down.

Worn with a shiny glaze that makes it slip.

Abhor I see I see. Aren't those fairly cheap? Just a pain to replace?

not really a pain just you have to pull out your tranny and put it back in

a glazed belt is a belt that is shiny from slipping "glazed". this will cause the belt to not grip the pulley any more and precede to slip more and more unntil it overheats and pops

If you're going to do all that, may as well spen the extra money and get the whole clutch kit and your flywheel resurfaced
