GC350z Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 So you’ve put a bit of grease behind the dust cover on the operating cylinder. (Sounds like I know what I’m talking about eh ) I did the same thing on my Celica when there was a squeak coming from the clutch arm. Caused by the arm vibrating. My trusted Toyota mechanic said it was a quick solution to replacing the release bearing which I maintained they damaged on a test drive while I was a passenger. Noise wasn’t there before abs test. Noise was there after. Anyway, if you haven’t done it already, get a buddy to listen from passenger seat while you drive and also while stationary. Then while stationary have him listen again with the hood up. If its coming from the clutch/release bearing/operating cylinder he should be able to hear it distinctly. The z does make a lot of odd noises. Some really do sound sick. The two that I had were the slow creak sound from behind the peddle and what sounds like a boiling kettle when the clutch is released. It also reminded me of a cement mixer. If its your bearing it should sound like a high pitched near constant squeak when the clutch is released. Any help??

GC350z Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I wouldn't like to guess. I know here in Ireland it cost me €700 to get a clutch fitted to my Celica which was front wheel drive. If you really think it's the release bearing you should also replace the clutch and clutch plate at the same time or so I'm told. It would of course same money in the long run if you had to replace the clutch. The release bearing does make a noise anyway and although replacing it might fix it it will return very quickly. Z's make noise. Be sure it is coming from where you think it is. It sounds a lot like what I had on my 04 and I could clearly hear it in the cabin behind the peddle.
