My Clutch makes a Whistle ?

Post by jackkorno »

All of a sudden today I noticed that my clutch when depressed seems to whistle a little. It shifts fin, and it dosent seem to slip at all. Anyone have an idea ?

Engine is a KLZE.

Thanks

No technical opinion to offer here but I wonder... maybe it is just happy? :roll:

No idea as to age, I belive motor has 80k on the KLZE. today I noticed all of a suddent car is bucking too, like the fuel aint burning, I dont get it. So Cltch whistles, and now after a car wash car Buckles like a bronco.

HELP. Still goes into gear just fine.

yeh yeh i say bearing.. if it gets louder and then the pedal vivrates it means time to chage it before you break the teeth on the pressure plate.. LOL that happened to me.. is there anything that has not happened to my poor mx3? its like a whissling whinning sound right? its fine but if it gets louder have the clutch changed.

LOL thats what happened to me.. i ended up "floating" the gears all the way home.. that was scary.. good thing it was at night and no trafic.. i blew some traffic lights. The ones i couldnt blow i would kill the car.. start it in 1st gear and float from there.. that was scary.
