Hey guys this is my first time posting...well neways ive been driving around lately and when i accelerate i hear some kind of quaking/squeeling noise...ne idea what it could be?? Sounds like its from the front of my car near the bottom...but i have no idea of what it could be?

 

could be a few things.. could be a bad tensioner pully.. or could be a loose belt.. also could be a bad water pump.. or could be a bad wheel bearing.. can you describe the sound in more detail.. and tell me does it only make the noise when the car is moving or does it make the noise when its in park and you gas it...

 

it only makes a noise when i accelerate (moving)

 

maybe a throw out bearing, mine was makin that noise before i replaced the whole clutch kit

 

yeah but the trhow out bearing would make that noise even at idle.. you might want to check your breaks and wheel bearings... jack the front up and wiggle the front tires to see if theres any play... then take off the tires and inspect your breaks..

 

Loose fan/alternator belt!

 

my throw out bearing only made noise when i accelerated hard and when i put in the new clutch kit the old bearing came out in 3 seperate peices

 

turned out to be the throuwout bearing thanx for the help guys... love forums like these lol

 

I think i might have the same squealing noise. Mine does it when i downshift and it also does it when i give it gas around like 55mph but stops after that. Any suggestions?

 

ne1 know of anybody that can replace my throw-out bearing and just that? im in san francisco and need some help.. i got quoted from a mechanic an hes ask 500 but thats also with a new clutch...BUT I ONLY NEED THAT STUPID BEARING FIXED..CAN SOME1 HELP?!

 

Here's the deal, he has to remove your entire transmission and clutch just to get at the throwout bearing. That's why it is $500. That's a good price for a replacement clutch with all the labor to do it.

If you're going to do the work yourself or have someone else do it, just pay the extra $100 and put a new clutch in there. The throwoutbearing is only $20 or so but takes hours of labor to replace.

 

the entire transmussion??!?, nah i replaced my clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing myself... takes like 2 hours tops if yougot a lift and a buddie and propper tools (ie. impact wrench) ya gotta move some stuff out of the way but after that, its smooth sailing...

when i replaced mine the new TO bearing wasnt any good, it slung the grease out of it in like 30 seconds after we started it up, had to replace it again, the seal on the first new one was bad, and get this guys, when i took the old one out... it came out in 3 peices... lol

but yah... you should just do it yourself man

 

Wow, you make it sound easy to drop a transmission.
Well, I guess its not so bad... I hope my tranny swap goes well this week! In goes the T5

 

good luck bleach on the t5.. i know when i did a clutch job on a t5, that thing was heavy as hell..the hardest part was trying to line it up to the motor. i was sore for a week after.. hahaha i guess old age is starting to catch up to me..

 

I think its pretty light. But I will be using a transmission jack! I got the whole turbo 2+2 driveline stuff as well so this should be a bolt-in.
