Possible Clutch Or Flywheel Noise. Let Me Know If This Sounds Right.

Hey Guys,

At the moment when I turn the car there is no noise at first but as soon as it warms up a tiny bit this grinding noise appears when the car warms up fully the noise seems to quieten down and even subside. The car is usually stationary when this happens.

The grinding type noise is coming from underneath the car around the clutch/clutch fork area. You can audibly hear it.

I was just wondering whether this could be a fly wheel issue. The noise is definetly coming from underneath (around the middle of the car) not the engine or the wheels.

Just hoping some of you have had this kind of thing appear. I have taken it to the mechanic but the car did not make the noise then. Which was really annoying.

does it change when you apply the clutch?? does it change if its in 1st or neutral?? most likely a bearing in that area.. throwout being the most obvious, input shaft being next.

I havent noticed any change when the clutch is in.

"most likely a bearing in that area.. throwout being the most obvious, input shaft being next."

If it is this how much would this bring me back money wise??

When I put the clutch to friction and reverse the car out of the garage it sometimes becomes louder. The noise is tempermental though which is annoying. Also in neutral it goes louder and silent then louder and silent. Once warm usually dissapears.

sounds like a throwout bearing... $20 for the bearing, but the gearbox has to come out.. so if your not handy with tools and have an area to work in.. you'll need a mechanic with a hoist to get it out.. changing the bearing takes 2 min with the box out.

Whats the best way to determine if it is infact a throwout bearing??

Does the box have to come out completely?? Thats going to cost a fortune isnt it for such a inexpensive part.

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.

      Yep, cheapest options, neglected and abused. The fastest way to dislike a car is to get assigned that model by a budget rental company

      The noise complaint could be from absolutely anywhere, and anyone. Get it actually noise level tested to find out if you're actually over, or if you're fine. If you're over, quieten it down. If you're under, carry the test results in the car with you.
