Clutch noise

EuroZ06 · 05:44 PM

Hello,

I just bought an 88 911, i bought it from a dealer sight unseen :/ they swore that clutch is fine. When i took delivery, i noticed a weird sound when you release the clutch in reverse/first gear. I cant pin point when it happens (most of the time when u just start in the first it wont make the sound), like when im pulling out/or in. More so in reverse. Hard to describe the sound, almost like a duck call... or blowing into harmonica..

Pls advise. The clutch seems to engage great, all gears work without a hickup.

I had the same noise, it was the take out bearing when it was spinning up. It was only after the car was sitting for a while. As soon when I started driving it the noise kind of went away.

So is that something i should worry about?

I cant exactly pin point when it happens, car hasnt been sitting (in my possesion). When i normally drive around town(1st-5th gears), the sound is not there. Its only in tight spots, if im backing into garage in reverse or doing a tight turn in 1st gear

The engine and trans are removed to access the clutch. I would drive it a while and see if it gets worse. I can't tell when it is making noise. Clutch in or out or just touching the pedal? Does the noise stop when you push in the clutch?
