03 wrx. if i let off the gas in any gear i get a grinding sound from the front center of the car if i push the clutch in or push the gas again it go away. any ideas?
drain the transmission and see what falls out, just as with glitter stripper juice if it sparkles your fucked
did that when i started to hear it. diff fluid looked fine. i kinda thinkin its the throw out bearing. the only issue with that is that i had it changed last summer
You can try to PM BlackAndBlue. He just went through a similar problem if memory serves me. Perhaps he may shed some light on the problem?
I had to replace the throw out bearing and the flywheel. The bearing was broken and the flywheel was pocked like F. Murray Abraham. On mine the squeal happened when I put any sort of load on the clutch. I did the clutch since it was the original clutch.
pilot bearings decided to bed down in my clutch material, sounded like a narrow hipped bitch getting foot fucked when engaging/disengaging the clutch.
i was tryin some stuff on the way home tonight with it. i think there might be something loose under the car. it was doing it but when i hit a bump in the road it kinda stopped thencame back. if my shops not slammed in the morning im going to lift it up on the rack and check something. iv looked under there before but with the number of cars coming in i havent really had time to feel around much less drop the tranny myself
update. I had a friend ride with me to hear the sound and he said it sounds like its coming not from the center of the car but the right side. thinking maybe turbo bearings.
That's where I thought my sound was coming from, but it was the front diff. Stop guessing and get it looked at by a professional.
going to allpro on tuesday to get it looked at however i am a professional who repairs car for a living and cant help but try to see if i can solve to problem before then. Its just the way im wired. I would think if it was a front diff it would be a constent sound. it only does it when the boost is up and im letting off the gas. if i push the gas back down it stops if i push the clutch in it stops.
iv heard that and if its normal sound from the lw fly that thats fine ill put the money somewhere eles in the car but i had the fly on there for about 6 months before the sound started
ok so turns out the sound is the two bearings that the cv axles run to in the tranny. not as bad as i thought.
