Whenever my clutch is released, there is a whistling noise. I was thinking that it was my ISB. Now for my question, if it is in fact my ISB, should it be replaced asap or is it ok to drive on? I have an ACT stage 2 clutch btw. Thanks for any input.

Bearings don't whistle. At least none that I've heard.

I'm betting it's something else, like the slave cylinder.

oh ya.......If that is the case, is it ok to drive on? I just did my ls vtec swap and to be honest, Im broke at the moment. Thank you though.

its probably your throw out bearing.. not so much wistling as squeeking? it probably wasnt greased up all the way.. does it go away when you push the clutch in? if so thats what it is.. it will go away after a while (when i say after a while i mean after like 2000 miles)

93 EG

Thats what I originally thought and I had it replaced. Still the same noise though. When I am in gear I can still hear it, dont know if that helps or not. Thanks for the response.

Murk 'EM

yeah it doesnt matter weather your in gear or not its if the clutch is engaged or not... like i said if the noise stops when you push the clutch in and starts when you release it its your throw out bearing

93 EG

Thanks, but I already had that replaced. For some reason, I thought the throwout bearing was the other way around.

Murk 'EM

other way around?

93 EG

Please correct me if I'm wrong. From what I heard, when the throwout bearing is bad, you hear a noise when you push the clutch in. Then when you release it, the noise goes away.

Murk 'EM

when a throw out bearing gose bad the car doesnt move

93 EG

gotcha. Im not saying that your wrong, its just that I already had my TOB replaced and I still have the same noise. What would you recommend? Thanks for all the help.

Murk 'EM

if you want you can take the bearing out and grease it all up or just drive it off... as what im doing

93 EG

Ok cool. So there really isnt any harm from driving on it? Just put down 3500 on my swap and I am back on my grind.lol. Why did ek mention the slave cylinder? is that a possibility? Thank you Accord for the help mang, I Appreciate it.

Murk 'EM

no the slave cylinders not gonna make a squeeling noice.. it could squeek but not constantly... i know exacualyy what your talking about mines doing that right now as well as it did with my last clutch.. it just goes away after a while... im not sure on the milage but its alot mines just starting to quiet up and i got probaly 1000 maybe mroe on it

93 EG

ok, what is the cause of the squeeling? Lack of lubrication or something? Thanks ALOT man.

Murk 'EM

yeah its just not greased up some could see it as a problem but i ran my old one like that had no problem and im running my new one like that and i got no problem
