crickets

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.

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.
