the annoying thing is my clutch has started making a whirring/grinding noise now on start up/when cold. Bastard car knows when I have money I swear...

Its not slipping or anything yet so I'm not too worried. Dad reckons it could be the throwout? bearing. I don't know enough about clutches to comment. It makes the noise when the clutch is in so I'm assuming its not disengaging properly. The noise can be heard faintly in neutral when the clutch is out but normally goes away when the clutch is in. Now on start up the noise just gets louder.

Any ideas?

haha excuse thats a good one. Clutch will stay in the car until it absolutely, positively needs to be changed. Unless its free reving in 1st gear then its good enough lol.

@Colin: sounds like throwout bearing to me.

Wheres my invite bitch :)

Cool. Just trying to find out what it does.

oh and yeah wheres my invite John?

Google the Master of All Mortal Knowledge has provided a sufficient description of what a throwout bearing does. Sounds like that's my problem.

^^^ haha nice one mike.

may aswell do ya clutch colin, if ur doing the bearing. i hear the only way of buying a throwout bearing is with a nice new 5puk :)

ps: lick my dragon :(

An excuse to change the clutch!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully that will stay at the bottom of my mod list although there's only suspension left.

^^^ haha nice one mike.

haha your such a liar. You can get throwout bearings in twin and triple kits as well.

new bearing costs about 10 bux :P but its a box out job so yeah might as well do the clutch while ur at it

Fairly sure I could get a throwout bearing for it, I'll have to find out :D . As I said I really don't want to change the clutch, its holding fine now and I wont be looking at a power increase for awhile. So I don't see the point in spending money on it when I don't need to.

Just live with it then Colin. She'll be right.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
