Clutch ? noise in 1st gear
Not being particularly mechanically inclined, I post this at risk of some embarrassment, as the answer may be obvious to most of you. I have a 2000 996. When I accelerate somewhat hard out of a stop while letting up on the clutch pedal, I am just starting to get a short squeal or screech, apparently from the clutch. Can someone tell me what this is, and do I need clutch work or something else?
Thanks! |

It's the throw out bearing. Time for a clutch job. It's only been 20 years.

Not wanting to inflict more financial pain, the ‘while you’re in there’ natural is the IMS bearing if it hasn’t been done. Better to spend the extra for the gear now than to add the trans R & R at a later time, or worse, damage the engine because you didn’t do it when the opportunity was there.
