So I just had my clutch and flywheel replaced about 3 days ago. It was awesome and ran great. I had no problems at all, aside from learning a new clutch, and then all of a sudden today I started to get a whirling sound coming from the front left side of the car. I turned off the road thinking that it was a tire issue and it was not. When I start to accelerate there is no noise at all until I reach about 30-40MPH. Once I get up to speed and ease off the gas the sound starts up until the car is at a dead stop. I push in the clutch and the sound is still there. If I try to speed up then the sound gets louder. When I turn slightly to the left the sound stops. When I turn to the right the sound persists.

Do you think that this could be a drivetrain issue? Im hoping that it is something that the mechanic did wrong while replacing the clutch and he will cover it. At the same time I would hate to call this guy and tell him that his work is bad because I have trusted him for along time with my car.

A little more history on the car. I had the CV Joints replaced at about 220k miles. It is now at 260k miles. I dont think that it is time to replace them again really.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

 

My mechanic also told me that my brakes were bad. I need to get the rotors replaced this time because the last guy did a pad slap and never turned the rotors. Is there a possibility that maybe there is something in my breaks that could be causing this noise? It seems like it it getting worse the more I drive it. Im going to have to take my motorcycle out of hibernation I think.

 

my 93 accord ex had a 94 sohc vtec swap done. the engine runs great but the trans is shifting hard. the guy i got the car from put the 93 trans back in. he said he didnt change the tcu could that be the problem.

 

I would saywheel bearing when he pulled axle out and put back in just messing with it could have got a lil play but its not really his fualt they wear out just tampering with it makes it quicker

 

Definitely wheel bearing. It makes a whirring/roaring sound that starts getting bad around 30 mph, getting progressively worse at you speed up and as the bearing gets worse. This is not something u can put off as your wheel could fall off as the bearing disintegrates.

 

Jack your car up and check to see if the wheels rotate fine or if they have play.
