Hi guys, I just picked up my brand new RX8 from Mazda and unfortunitly I got this whine/squeal noise problem at low RPM. I am very worried right now. Can anyone tell me will this problem go away after I drive it for sometime or I need to bring the car back to dealer for a check/fix? Please kindly advise. Thanks

mine is in the shop for this, it sounds like a mousewheel that is unoiled. my throwout bearing is defective....

This occured because my flywheel wasnt torqued to spec, it ruined my Pressure plate clutch and throwout bearing, The throwout bearing is what is causing the noise. PM me

Hey... I've noticed the same noise in my engine for two weeks now, I hear something like two metals scratching in cyclical motion at low RPM upon engine start. The sound lasts for as long as the engine is running on idle even if it's warm, it disappear once I depress the clutch and in gear... Otherwise, it can be heard if the car is in neutral.

You do realize you just bumped a five year old thread right?
