Early Symptoms Of Clutch Problem?
Hi All,
Went for a short drive-stopped for a coffee-drove off and noticed a "whistle/whine"( bearing of some sort) when upshifting. No ongoing noise when in gear/motion. I then stopped and put the car in neutral and no noise. Pushed pedal in- chatter/whining noise-different than upshifting noise. No problems with engaging gears at all-just noises. Any ideas would be welcomed! Thanks, Jason |

What year? How many miles? If it only makes noise when stepping on the clutch worn throw out bearing.

Hi,
Sorry its a 99 with about 48,000 miles-clutch itself feels perfect-so does the box have to come out to repair the throw out bearing? Thank you |

Box has to come out. May be the time to replace clutch parts. Check the dual mass flywheel also.
Some folks would replace the IMS bearing with the LNS engineering upgrade at this time.

I DO have a clutch problem !!!!
I know that the Clutch on my 1999 C4 is just about finished. I have decided it does need a change, and I expect to change the RMS at the same time. Can someone please tell me if I can change the Clutch by removing the Gearbox from underneath, leaving the engine in situ. Or do I have to remove the whole unit as is the case with earlier 911's.
I have access to a workshop with a ramp and all the kit and have a fair amount of experience but do not want to start on it one way and then find I have to go back to square one anyway. |

LN Engineering - Makes a ceramic bearing replacement/upgrade intermediate shaft bearing. Tons of posts on this. While you're doing the clutch, it would be advisable to upgrade the IMS bearing. Labor is virtually nil while the clutch is being done. IMS bearing Notoriously weak link that will take out the motor if it goes.
