Ran and sounded great until I had the clutch replaced with a Clutchmasters FX300.

Now, when I start the car up 95% of the time there is a very noticeable kazoo like whining sound coming from somwhere under the front of the car. It increases with rpm, and oscillates when turning the wheel(?). You can actually "feel" the noise through the steering wheel, a slight amount of resistance I guess. Once the car warms up the noise gets less loud, and goes away when the clutch pedal is pressed, but it is still noticeable.

Any ideas as to what this could be before I take it in?

 

are you sure that's not the differential?

 

well, thats why im asking.

 

?

 

 

Oh ya thanks for the help guys.

 

if i was sure it was the differential i wouldnt have made this post.

 

Bump...I have the same noise; I've been told that it is the throw-out bearing

 

if you depress the clutch pedal and the noise goes away, it is most likely the throw out bearing.

 

My Transfer case went bye/bye after a clutch install. Check that out. did they put fluid back in the TC? could be the TOB.

 

Thanks for my new backround!!! Funny stuff.
