Hey guys n girls, so I've been hearing this grinding sound from the front of my 8, this usually only happens in first and second gear and in low rpm, then goes away in gears three and up. It drives fine and I check and change the oil regularly, also I have a new cat.. My dad was thinking it might be caused by an abused throwout bearing, what do you guys think?

Thanks, Dmitrey. 2005 rx8 113,000k

 

It could be the wheel bearings. It makes that grinding noise when in lower gears.
