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.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need.

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
