Hey guys I have a question. I just got my 04 rx-8 6spd GT about a week ago, i absolutlely love the car, but i have a noise in the tranny in neutral with the clutch engaged (pedal not puched in). I am a Chrysler Tech and none of our manuals do this nor did any Toyota ive owed with an Aisian trans. I took it to the dealer to schedule an apptment and they said some noise is normal but they would check it out. I have a few other issues with it, but extremely minor stuff, being a tech i notice a bunch of stuff. I was wondering if anyone has this noise, if it is normal or what was replaced if it isnt. I suspect pilot bearing or trans front bearing from experience but every trans is different. So help the new guy out and let me know something before i take it in on friday. Thanks guys

 

it's normal, we see a thread about the noise once or twice every day here...

 

what is gear rollover for 1000 alex... all in all you do not realize how close you are to the trans..

Throw-out bearing most likely IMO

 

the throw out bearing only makes noise when the clutch is depressed. not engaged as mentioned above.

mine has done it since day one new and so has my friends, its normal

 

Thanks guys, Just not used to the noise yet, like i said i just got it and it sounds different, but hey i used to cummins and viper trannys, they sound abit different
