Ive got this noise coming from my gearbox and it only happens some of the time. probably once a week and i drive my car everyday. Its like a high pitched deep growl and it goes away instantly when i put my foot on the clutch, sometimes it returns but most of the time it just disapears as soon as i put my foot on the clutch. Any suggestions on what it could be?

Hey mate, your throwout bearing has become dry, or seized all together, this results in a high pitched squeal when releasing the clutch pedal out. Most commonly on early starts but can occur at any time.

Unfortunately there is no easy fix, its a box out job, and you mosewell replace your clutch while your at it (kinda pointless spending $400 in labour to replace a $25 part)

I have driven a car like that for a few months with intermittent throwout noise, although I don't recommend it, you can keep driving the car if funds are tight!

And when the time comes, shoot me a PM, I can hook you up with a Exedy clutch kit cheaper than any sponsor here on SAU!

If the noise disappears when you depress the clutch it means that the problem is in the box.

When it is neutral the input shaft is turning that is why the noise is from the box. Depress the clutch, no noise.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
