When i warm up my car i hear a strange rattling noise. when i push in my clutch it seems to go away for a little bit but then the noise comes back. i have 43k on my clutch and its stock, could it be the clutch? i baby my car so could it just be wear and tear? any help would be appreciated thanks.

 

Is it a rattling noise or a hummin/vibration noise to be more exact? And does it go away when the car is fully warmed?

 

it's a rattling noise. when it is fully warmed, it'll cut off and start again. sometimes when i push in the clutch it'll stop but then it'll start right back up again.

 

mine does the same thing; it has 40k miles. when i start the car cold, it will sound like the car needs a valve adjustment, but the sound completely disappears once i press the clutch. i haven't noticed the sound returning when hot.

 

release bearing maybe?

 

yeah i noticed that also. when it's cold it makes that noise, i'll pay attention and listen when it is hot to see if it's still there. thanks for the help everyone.

 

i had the same problem, took it to my acura dealer. They told me it was the main bearing inside the transmission, i had it replaced. noise went away for a while but is now slowly coming back. Not as bad a s before, but once in a while i stil here it.

 

yea mine did the same thing one night! There was a weird noise coming from the engine, so i poped the hood to see what it was and when i pressed the throttle it stopped. I asked a friend and he said i need a valve adjustment! what else could it be?

 

thanks for all the help guys. i'm going to take my car to the dealership since it's still under warranty.

 

thats a good idea i wish i had a warrant.

 

TO bearing

 

pilot bearing or tranny input shaft bearing. more likely to be pilot than tranny through experience.

 

Worst case scenario (although you might not want to hear this) and you need a new clutch, get a Clutchmaster OEM replacement for 203 and change from their website. I just got one installed today b/c the kid who had my car before me dragged it. In short, I'm happy but a few hundred poorer.
