Noticed an odd noise when in neutral, clutch pedal out. It almost sounds like a number 4 rod bearing death rattle. At low idle. Goes away at 1k or more or when the clutch is pushed in. I’m assuming the TT or the transmission (5th gear noise). It’s an 88 944 with only 90K miles. Pulling clutch and TT / transmission this weekend.

(This concerns 968’s only since there are two couplers one on each end, but may pertain to 944's) I replaced the bearings in my TT on my 968 which was a real job, only found one bearing slightly corroded and the other 4 in great shape, turned out to be a 6 month old clutch disk disengaging. When changing these bearings one needs to measure exactly the ends of the shaft in relationship to the tube. You will know why when you go to put the couplers on the transmission end clutch end, something the directions didn’t mention.
