I've taken my 8 to dealer 3x about a squeaking noise when car sits at idle. It has a new clutch, the mechanic says that the sound is normal for 8's.....That it's most likely dust between flywheel and clutch plate......I don't believe him....2005 rx8 shouldn't be making any noise, other than air intake and exhaust.....When the car is out of gear at a stop light I hear a squeaking noise.....When I press down the clutch, the sound goes away.....Do I have a real problem or is this mechanic right?.....Need help with this one................... :rant:

Clutch pilot bearing,,, or release bearing cant remember...
contact Ray aka Charles R. Hill of BHR he has some pretty trick needle pilot bearings ,,,
they all have that sound if you can deal with it its mechanically not going to hurt your 8,,, just annoying if you cant handle the extra noise...

normal.

as in your other post.

search gear rollover.

Sound with clutch out, no sound clutch in = throwout bearing

Now unless you have an aftermarket clutch, "sometimes" the sound is normal, IIRC ACT clutches.
