Ive been noticing alil chatter noise coming from the tranny when the car is running. -these are the symtoms-

1)chattering noise...but the noise goes away when i step down on the clutch ..then when i let off clutch the noise comes back....and this is when im not in ne gears.

2)when step on clutch idle rpm jumps up from 780 to 820.

3)when i step down on clutch(clutch it self) makes a squeeky bed noise

thats about it... its just buggin the hell outta me that i dunno why its making that noise...should i change the tranny fluid...might it be that?...or something else like the clutch might be touching something

btw..stock clutch

 

Does this happen to be a 99-00 CIvic Si?

I will almost bet you that it is your throw out bearing... since you say it goes away if you play with the clutch.
HTH

I ask cause, mine does the exact same thing. I still do not know what is wrong.
Press in the clutch it goes away, release it and you hear a little chatter.

it gets very annoying after awhile.

Rob

 

and this is on your stock clutch?...i guess imma have to just deal with it for now..

 

I kinda have the same thing with my clutch i've got the B18 in my hatch... and it's very similiar to what you hvae..except that

1. you can hear a slight slight noise, not like chattering but something quiet

2. when i step on the clutch at idle, the rpms do move up a little but only like 100 rpms
3. sometimes when i step on mine, i hear that ' squeaky bed noise too..

But it seems to be grabbing fine...

 

yeah my clutch grabs normal..its just that annoying a-z-z noise...i feel alil better now since im not the only one having this annoying problem

btw sivik2nr...what noises are u hearing on yours?

hopefully...now if it starts happening all the time...you've fucked your main bearing too and it's time for a tranny rebuild

 

dam..gotta spend more money ...clutchnet here i come.

 

But wouldn't throwout bearings stop when you pop it in neutral and let off the clutch, which is when he said the noise occured??? Don't fuckni flame me with that assclown **** cuz I'm just trying to understand... I drive an auto so I dont have a throwout bearing when I drove a stick for a while I noticed any time you had the luctch in the idle raised a little and whenever I put it in neutral and let off it dropped a little, I think that's natural or something but I dunno, explinations.... anyone got one?

 

more comments welcomed ...basically its just the noise....in nuetral:

step.
1)step in clutch....no little annoying sound(faint sound).
2)let off clutch ...sound comes back

thats about it..

 

Talked to my dad about throwout bearings and he said that maybe when the throwout bearing is disengaged (when you put it in neutral and let the clutch out) it's possible it could be not fully disengaging (from the rod) so its still sitting on the rod meaning its not coming all the way out anymore. He told me that if you can slip the clutch in a little and have the noise go away BEFORE you can engage a gear then it's your throwout bearing since your clutch engages fine... That sounds to be the most likely situation because if it was your clutch then my dad said it would be making the noise when the clutch is in AND out... My dad's been around cars his whole life and he's comming up on 50, and he knows more than me so I'd go with what he says You could always take it to a good tranny place and ask them to check it out (more advisable thing to do)

EDIT> You could always get a nice stereo and blast it, I don't hear fire trucks until they're right next to me

i have this same problem with a stock clutch on my EJ1.what is that also what is the soudn when u start to slow down and ur RPM coem down formt he motor or tranny...i hate it it seems to me my motor is close to cooked? is it true?

 

My 00' Si also makes a squeek from the tranny, but only in neutral, and sometimes in 1sr gear.

 

did u ever find out what was causing the squeeky noise?

 

i'm in the same situation as you where when you press the clutch down it goes away but then when you let go of the clutch it begins to make the noise again. I recently changed my clutch and throwout bearing which is weird because it never used to make that noise until the new throwout bearing was installed. I've tired just lubricating the clutch release fork with silicone lubricant and it acutally does go away for like 2-3weeks, but i'm beginning to think the bolt holding the release fork is loose or the release bearing has gone bad. Anyway if you are on the same boat as me then test it by turning on your car and firmly press against the release fork which is covered by a boot where you drain your clutch fluid and if the noise goes away when pressed on, then you cannot deny that it has something to do with the release bearing. Let me know whats up, I too would like to get rid of that unforgetful noise.

 

I have the exact same problem with my clutch. Does it sound like this!!!

What you say is true. My friends thought it was the bearing too but it wasn't. My friend had the same problem with his 91 civic. His car is not gifted enough equipped with a hydralic clutch like the rest of us . He got a new transmission and a new clutch and the noise went away.

 

$$$says its the throughout!! 50 bucks!!

 

I had this problem recently, as a matter of fact i replaced my clutch last tuesday for this...

except...

it wasnt a 'chattering' ... but more of a whistle....and yes when i put my foot on the clutch, (not even press the clutch, just lay my foot on it) it would change pitch.

also there was that bed squeak...

and you say that its NOT not catching?...you sure? mine was so bad it wouldnt 2nd gear scratch...

but anyway, yea it was throwout bearing...also was gonna check mainshaft bearing but was like **** that ill just get a new clutch.

so a few hours later i was sporting the smooth ride (nothing like a young clutch)

IM me if you need any questions on what went down.
