Throwout bearing problem
I was getting a howling noise when the clutch was halfway out on a downshift or when starting the car from a stop.
When the tech at the dealership sprayed some lubricant on the throwout bearing, the noise stop and goes away for a while until the lubricant wears off, then the noise comes back.
Any suggestions or help on this? I know the throwout bearing might not be seated correctly, but this happend on the stock clutch at 2000 miles and continued from day 1 after I had my exedy twin disc and new OEM TB but in at 5000 miles. I now have 8k on the car. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

this is happening for the last 6000 miles. TB has been replaced and so has the clutch. Car is garage kept, doesnt matter the weather. Thanks for the info though. Anything else?

Get it replaced again if you are annoyed by it. But usually the noise is o.k. It won't break your car. Until you start seeing bearings coming out falling on the ground! lol
