Well i'm getting some rattling at idle push the clutch in it goes away. From past experience this sounds like a throwout bearing. Car shifts fine etc. Stock clutch unmolested. Is this a known problem with the evos? I've been searching around and seen a couple things. Next question is IF it's the TOB does the dealer consider this a wear and tear item and not replace it? Or is it under the powertrain warranty? Thanks!

 

Forgot to mention its an 05 GSR with 32k miles.

 

Normal wear and tear on the throwout bearing (what it sounds like)......dealer would not warranty such an item.

 

What I was expecting. Hate to see the labor rates to replace it.

 

It's not a problem, but a normal noise from the throwout bearing.

 

i've noticed its not the tob....with mine it was makin noise in the tranny...once the tranny was replaced in my car the noise went away..its just the input shaft gears spinning

 

I have the same noise on my 03 VIII and I keep thinking it is the TOB

 

I'm going to see about adjusting the pedal. It does sit at the top. Maybe that'll help things out.

 

just bought my ix and have noticed the same thing... nothing to worry about. there are many threads discussing that same noise. it gets worse with the air conditioning on

 

Yeah same here. A/C on alot worse. Turn it off it nearly goes away

 

one of the many noises i am starting to notice

 

That's the only one that has had me worried. Everything else sounds normal. Injector pulses etc etc

 

Adjusting the pedal won't help that. When you adjust the pedal it changes how far the clutch pulls apart.

 

I'm hoping to get it to engage closer towards the middle instead of right on the top.

 

Right, it will do that, but it won't subdue the noise.
