Well now -
My cluch is almost 2 years old and gets treated with kid gloves , I shift low in the RPM's And accelerate slow for smooth shifting and fuel savings (17mpg avg.).
But as of yesterday I can here the gears wind up after I push the clutch in.
No problems with power or gear handling , Just the sound of the gear(s)
(low dry rev/wind sound)
No visible leaks , Clutch has oil at the step mark.
Also - I can Make The Trans create the same sound if I keep the clutch petal in and rev the engine And wait (seems to do it more on the RPM decell Around 25 mph,No tac.truck came with out one)
???????

Thank You to ALL that respond.

Matthew

First thing I'd check is the tranny's lubricant - correct type and level? When was it last changed? What mileage on the trans?

Also, with the clutch pedal down your tranny/driveline isn't physically connected to the engine so it shouldn't make any noise. If you can hear something when you rev the motor with trans in neutral or clutch to the floor then it's not the transmission making that noise.

Also, you say you 'shift low in the RPMs' - I take that to mean that you don't 'race' the motor before changing gear? I mean, it might not be appropriate - depending on engine load, road conditions etc - to always change at low RPM.

 

Lube all good,
Sounds like the throw out Bering is shot,
I stopped by the trans shop in the city yesterday and they gave it a listen and thought the same thing (rebuild time) (ouch)

As for low rpm's , Thats me on a normal cruz to and from,
When its time for the truck to work I give it plenty of welly.

Thank you for the help.
