DizzyDatsun Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I've noticed a new noise . I can hear it when I am sat in neutral and have the clutch pedal up and it sounds like a scoring/scraping sound with, every now and then, a sort of rattle (hard to describe). If I depress the clutch the sound goes away. I have found a video ( , though another post here) on youtube that sounds like it. The poster of the video said it turned out to be a loose flywheel in the end. I had the clutch repaired at about 35k miles but the flywheel wasn't replaced.I am inclined to suspect it is the input shaft bearing of the gearbox. Does anyone know how much that is likely to cost to have replaced? I'm guessing the parts won't be expensive but the labour will be . Any recommendations of a place to have the job done very welcome.

AK350Z Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Can't help with the noise, but normal practice is to change the flywheel at the same time as the clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Sounds like front transmission bearing or flywheel as per your description mate. Both are easy fixes, however the gearbox has to be dropped which is no big deal. If you are planning on carrying out this work yourself then please find below schematics which will help you understand the transmission layout. All parts required including clutch kits and flywheels are in stock and all good to go same/next day. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDatsun Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Cheers for the help. I'd love to give it a crack to do the job myself but sadly don't have a decent place to do it (gravel drive no garage). Taking it in is the only option really so I'm after an idea of what to expect to soften the blow and to know what's reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
