Hi All,
I'm from the UK and relatively new to all this but i've read so much stuff here that i feel like i could build the car from scratch with all your combined knowledge!!
Anyway, I'm running an 92 V6. When i pull away in 1st. i get a strange squealing noise and the same happens again in 2nd. I'm pretty sure it comin from the clutch.
I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem....any ideas what it is???
cheers in advance fellas....and ladies!!

is it with the clutch in or out. kinda sounds like the throw out bearing. thats what mine did when it was going out.

Cheers for the ideas!! I'm hoping to wack in a klde cos the klze is rare as rocking horse **** in the uk....
how long do u reckon it'll last if it is the throw out bearing?
I'm hoping to do the swap in the new year!!

the throw out bearing will last a while before it fails completely. while makeing the noise i drove mine on a 1400+ mile trip and it did just fine. but when i did pull it out it was bad.
