just recently there has been a loud annoying noise coming from my engine bay that you can hear from outside the car duringidle.. i had one of the mechanics at my work take a listen to it and he said it was coming from my tranny... i believe he said it was a thrust bearing?? i may be wrong but does anyones elses cafr make a noise from their tranny at idle? could this screw up my tranny?

 

bump

 

Yea i had this before and it was the bearing in my tranny so i just sold it and put in a new one.

 

Yea i was told that its gonna cost up too 1500 to fix it so i bought another used tranny. Well they told me that all it can do is if you keep driving on it and try to fix it in the future then the noise is not gonna go away.

 

Is it just during idle and not during driving? Also does it stop or keep going when you push in the clutch?

 

it just during idle.. it will make the noise for a few seconds then go away then come back.... but it hasnt affected my tranny in any way so i'm not terribly worried... its jst very annoying

 

The same thing happened to a friend of mine. When he pulled the clutch to change the bearing, he found out that the real problem was that some of the bolts in his flywheel had backed out. Have you chenged your clutch and flywheel in your car?

 

i have never changed the clutch or flywheel.. and i dont think the previous owner did either, but im not certain

 

Throw out bearing??
