Strange Noise from standstill to first gear (manual trans)

thekin367 · 01-19-2012, 06:20 AM

When I start my car each morning, I get a strange high pitched whine sounding when I am stopped and start to move forward in first gear. The noise doesn't happen when I reverse. It starts when I first start releasing the clutch and stops when clutch is fully released, so only in the initial part of shifting into first from neutral. The more I gas during this period, the higher pitched the noise is. Can anyone help me diagnose?

I have a similar problem but mine isn't a whine. It almost sounds like a cycling of some sorts. A bearing makes sense to me too but I don't understand why only out of gear and only in first. Like I said. same problem with mine.

time for a clutch job. Make sure you get the whole kit, with pressure plate disc and throwout bearing.
