Throw out bearing...

Roadkill · « **on:** November 30, 2008, 10:39:34 PM »

Ok guys i had a Porsche tech friend of ours come over today and help chainge out the trans oil. He had all the tools that i did not have to do it. The old trans oil was black as tar and the new is perfect. I had him drive it and tell mw what he thinks the sound was when i shifted that we talked about in another post here of mine. He said straight forward that he thought it was the throw out bearing. Now what i need to know is what is the average price for chainging one out and if there is anyone here that can do it. And how hard it is to replace.He said that he has never seen one trash a transmission if was not replaced fast but i would like to get it done as soon as possible as money allows. So what does every one think. I need your knowlege........

It's easy to change but you have to pull the motor to do it.
I'm having a flash back.....Wait for it..................."I think you should change the throw out bearing and a new clutch while the motors out".......Yep it's always better to do it while you can.

Anytime I have the motor out if I haven't done it already I replace the throwout bearing and the input shaft seal just cause its easier then. It's also always worth installing a new clutch at that same time. When in doubt change it out. Funny thing is your throwout bearing didnt look beat up but like I said it's always better to replace it then wonder. :roll:
Is he completly sure it isnt something inside the trans???

To answer the question anybody can do it,it's not hard but labor is gunna cost ya a couple of bills just because pulling and reinstalling the motor is so fun!!! :wink: I am in no way volunteering to be that guy but I can be bribed into it. :lol:

Thanks for reminding me about that Scott.....I may be a few months from 45 years old but my mind has not gone that far. As i sit here i keep thinking about what he said about it could be the throw out bearing. My shifting is straight, tight and does not jump out of gear etc. He even said that it worked great so i do not know how it could be the throw out bearing. I really think it is still possibly in the channel like i was told in my question on Clutch peddle squeak. I will drive it with the new trans oil in it when all the snow and stuff are done and see again what it sounds like and i think about it. I may also bring it over to your place one day and let you drive it and see or maybe to Rick at R&M Automotive and have it drivin by him........

The man to see about trans problems is David. Not knocking anyone but he is your best bet. I think if it's the trans and your selling it it aint worth it to you to fix. I dont think it's the throw out bearing,Pressure plate or clutch.
Yours had very little wear on it. If it's the tube in the tunnel then god bless you man thats a booger. You need some serious surgery to fix that.

Hmmm a well kept secreat. Sorry I cant tell you of the whereabouts of the Godfathers lair (He just now let me back in and sometimes lets me sit at the big boy table without my bib.)......but his number is in his profile. :lol:

What exactly is it doing???Whats it sound like when does it make the sound? Clutch pedal up/down uphill coasting etc....

It makes an anoying sound like squeek when the clutch peddle is released. Not when the shifter is moved etc. It can happen on flat, up hill or down hill. Just when the peddle is released. Nothing more. The trans shifts fine.

If it's just a sweek then dont mess with it. It aint worth fooling with if your selling it.

Does it make this same noise if the engine the engine is NOT running ? This is important. Explain squeak. Is it like a dry or rusty door hinge or like a wagon wheel that needs oil ? Does it make any difference hot or cold ?
You can drive over here and I will lay an ear on it if it makes the noise all the time. Its hard to hear noises on the forum. If its what I think it is you need to repair it yesterday but I'm not sure until I hear it for myself.
You can call me at 894-3374. If I don't pick up ,leave me a message as I don't answer unknown or blocked calls and I will return your call.

It does sound like a rusty door hinge or wagon wheel when it needs oil but only when i release the clutch peddle. Does not matter if it is hot or cold. If i let out the peddle there is a squeek sweat and simple. I just went out to the bug and pushed the peddle and it squeeked. I did not turn on the car or anything.

OK , Forget everything I said on my last post. I would check the pedal cluster itself. You may have to take it out and dissemble to free up and lube. You can lube the cable at the same time. The release brg only can make noisy if the engine is running.

Pete's sake , spray a bunch of liquid wrench on it a leave it alone. :lol: ,

I had one that made that noise that was actually coming from a clutch cable guide tube that had broken free of its weld inside the frame tunnel. you could tell when you took the pedal cluster out and grabbed hold of the tube and wiggle it up and down....the tube that is.

Nut buster doesn't always work but its worth a try. Most of the time you are just spraying 90% of the stuff on the brake pedal bushing. I have taken many of these pedal cluster apart after spraying them for a month and found that the nut buster didn't get even close to where it was needed on the shaft which was on the end that stuck inside the tunnel. I have seen these pedals get so bad that they would just about lock up and you would end up breaking the pedal where it was pin'd on the shaft (mostly on the '65 -up)
Try spraying. You might get lucky

I just saw Ricks post and this tube also could cause the noise ,but the tubes I have heard rattle more than squeaked.
I would like to hear it instead of pecking my brains off on the forum.
