my car sounds like a cricket when the clutch is not engaged.

the stealership is fixing it under warranty. apparently there's a bearing in my clutch pack that's run dry and loose (a disgusting combination). i believe it is aka the throw out bearing?

the transmission has to come out to fix it, they say. i am nervous for my car.

 

Ahh yes. The "ticking" sound. Hope that will fix your issue. Let us know.

 

more like churping

 

Who's doing the work?

 

mark: #1 in the world.

 

Last time I had churping it was due to a Exhaust leak where the exhaust meets the mid pipe. Now that I swaped my AP exhaust dont churp.
AJ's Shinka had the same issue due to a blown exhaust gasket. He posted before and after vids of his 8 on here and on youtube. In fact he swaped my AP for me.

 

coming from the front left side. if i press the clutch two inches, it stops.

 

Oh I see. Never mind. Dang I'm at 55k and no churping thank gawd lol
