The car's an '04 and I heard many people have this issue, some calling it a gear something soemthing or the throwout bearing and that it's perfectly natural. The noise and slight shake is pretty noticable and I'm just worried it might be MORE than that. Anyone have a similiar problem wanna go by UIC and test out my clutch for comparision sake. Thanks!
yep i have the same thing. ive been told it IS the throwout bearing and that its not a big deal but i will try to have mine replaced before the warranty is up. I know a couple of people have the same noise, so come out to the meet on Saturday and we can all compare!

and welcome! sending you an invite to join our little group!

Man, I was trying to be a chauvinist and sarcastic, but I guess I missed the mark. I'll be less subtle next time...

I know...you should have tried to see if she were shifting...see, girls can't drive stick shifts, so you would have seen the car jerking a lot...then you would have known it's the boyfriend's car because he normally wouldn't let her touch the stick...read between the lines as you will...

The only girl I've ever seen driving a 6-speed 8 is Kristen, and I've seen about 6 chick driven RX-8's, all automatics. And the way I could tell is they were all driving while on their cell phones, pretty sad huh?
