Hey guys..

 

Whenever I put my clutch down, it makes a stupid noise. It's not a grinding it's more of a high pitched squealing kind of noise. It doesn't affect the driving at all but it makes my car sound like it's come straight out of a cartoon...

 

Also, I've got a whirring noise coming from my wheels or something... I'm not sure where it's coming from but I know it's under the car cause I can hear it past 50km/h. I've searched on the forums and found one post that suggested it could be a wheel bearing but I'm thinking it's the diff because something similar happened in my other ke70 and I changed the diff and it went.. but I'm not sure if it's the same thing? Any suggestions on what it would be?

 

Cheers. :D

Squealing with the clutch in is most likely the throw out bearing, Its run dry and will need replacing soon which = gearbox out job.

 

How good is the clutch, Might as well change it at the same time if you don't know.

 

Clutch kit will be under $200 easy and it comes with a new throw out bearing, Pressure plate and clutch plate. You will also need to get your flywheel machined which should be around $30, Thats how much i paid for a 212mm 4age flywheel to be done. Change the spigot bearing too as they can squeal under hard take offs and hill starts, I paid $6 for one and yours should be the same or cheaper.

Luckily I have 200 this week... I guess I go to my normal mechanic to get that done? Also, how much would I be looking at to fit in a 5 speed gearbox?

 

Cheers Des. :D

Got a 5 speed box ? Straight swap.

 

It will be under $200 for the clutch unless he is going to rip you off, Then he will charge you labour for doing it. He shouldn't charge you to put in the 5 speed at the same time because its a straight swap if its a ke70 5 speed.

Well technically I do have a 5 speed, but I went to get it put into my other red ke70 and the guy said it wasn't or was a cable thing or whatever... like it wasn't the right setup to put in a 5 speed.. have you ever heard of this?

 

The 5 speed is sitting in my mum's driveway and has got a bit rusty... I might try and get it put in at the same time... ahhh no more high revs past 80. :D

Is it just when you are pushing the pedal in or does it keep going if you hold the pedal down? If it's only when the pedal is being pushed in/out, could just be a squeaky hinge

As long as the pedal is a tiny bit depressed it makes the noise. :D

if you want, I can help you out. bring the car to me and i'll swap the box and thrust bearing.

 

if you want to save a shit load of money any way

 

I rang auto one kalamunda, and you can get the set for $102. That is thrust bearing, pressure plate and clutch plate.

Do it their way, Will save you heaps.

Sounds good hey. Have you done that kinda stuff before? What kind of money do you want, etc? I just spent that 200 that I had on a forklift license so I can quit GAY EAGLE BOYS... so it might have to wait (no more than) 2 weeks if you're willing to do it and all...
