When my car idles without me pressing on the clutch....i get this strange popping crackling noise...but once i press in the clutch or my car is in gear it no longer makes this noise

Any idea what the problem might be....im going to bring it into the dealer tomorrow but i just wanna have some kind of idea what the problem might be

 

crackling noise in the tranny is bad... ur syncros or w/e might be fckin up.

 

i had that prob with muh evo... the syncros were bad and my clutch plate had completely cracked in half...

 

that doesnt sound too good though....

the only thing is the car still drives fine...so idk what it could be

also tonite the shifter started shifting much smoother and moving much softer

 

how new is your car?

 

its an 06...just broke 15,000 miles

 

hmmm, ur WAAYYYYY past ur break in...

damn- if it drives fine, then... no grinding when you put it in any of the gears?

 

My car does this , but I know its my POS spec pressure plate .

 

nope no grinding no nothing...i dont get it

but i think im going to bring it in anyways just to make sure now...

because im gonna be putting in a full exhaust and intake soon so i dont want them to give me **** for it then...

so now seems like the time

 

*** it- might as well, it's what the warranty is for!

 

hey i what the guy with the red cobalt you where talking with 2night at rubys yea that sound was pretty loud it cant be good

 

this is the same as mine does. I heard it may be the throw out bearing but i dont know. I plan to take it into the dealership soon to find out before i do any engine mods.

 

yea 2 mechanics and my dad said its most likely the throw out bearing today...
so monday im bringing it in...im just like scared to drive it now even though its been doing it for awhile...
i dont want anything else to go wrong

if its just the bearing thats bad...do i have to replace the whole clutch or no...and is this bearing covered by warrenty?

 

It's the slave cylinder. It sorts of squeels then when you press the clutch in it goes away or if you are in gear. I had this issue before. The problem is with GM's shitty slave cylinder design, it seems like a hit or miss with them. Over vacuum bleeding will result in failure as I have found out as well, so now I only bleed them the old school way even know it takes longer. It should be covered under warranty since your car is still under warranty. It will take them a day or two to do the job though since the whole car has to get torn apart to remove the tranny to get to it.

 

alrite ill throw that idea out to them also thanks guys

 

Any update on this issue. Trying to do my research before i go to dealer about it. I want to take care of everything i can before i twin charge etc.

 

my first spec stage 2+ had a noise problem when letting it idle free spinning. If you have an aftermarket clutch then the dealer isn't probably going to help you much
