97 dx coupe noisey clutch
OK i have a 97 dx couple that makes an odd noise when cold. when you release the clutch with the car in neutral it makes a whirring sound. once the car is warmed up this goes away. i believe i have a kwmt5 tranny. 194k
i was going to do a clutch and bearings and fly wheel as i'm not sure of the mileage on the current set. i got the car with 145k on it put the last 49k on myself so i figured it was do. besides the noise there are no other issues with the clutch or tranny. changed the tranny fluid about 4 months ago fluid was not bad looking.
i'd appreciate suggestions.
thanks!

Re: 97 dx coupe noisey clutch
I have the same issue. But what's even stranger and I can't figure out is why, when my shifter is in neutral I don't hear any noise. anytime i move it, whether it's far right or far left before selecting a gear, I keep hearing a very faint (fshhh...) sound. Any idea's???

ok so i've ordered:
anything else i should consider. this is not an upgrade for performance, but rather my daily driver that does over 1k a week in mileage.
thanks again for the advice.

Noise with foot off clutch pedal is generally input shaft. Noise with foot on clutch pedal is generally throwout bearing. Input shaft bearing replacement requires a full overhaul minus gearsets.
