alright guys i'm having this problem. when i'm in first gear i get this loud sound, it sounds like it may be the throwout bearing or maybe i need a new clutch. does anybody have any idea what i'm talking about? I NEED TO GET THIS **** FIXED !!!!! Thanks alot guys

sol2hatch

when do you hear the sound, while driving, while the clutch is in, is it out, need more info to help

ok sorry bout that....i don't wanna say it's a grinding sound, but it's like the sound of downshifting but very deep and loud. i don't know if that helps but all i know is that someone told me the clutch or throwout bearing.

i hear the sound only when the clutch is in and i'm in first gear....sometimes 2nd gear too

yea i also heard that it may be the synchro or synchronizer....located in wat area? i never had this problem before i'm a newbie to the clutch problem.

sol2hatch

put the car in neutral, leave the clutch out. do you hear it now? Push the clutch in, do you hear it now?
