i've had my car for about 2 weeks now and have just tonight noticed what sounds like a bad throw out bearing. i'm not sure tho i'm gonna get it to work this week and get it up on a lift. maybe get one of the seasond techs to take a gander at the noise, but i was wondering if anyone has had an issue with them going bad.


thanks

 

I remember reading a post a here a while back about someone in a 03 who had his throw out bearing replaced under warrenty.

 

2 weeks? must list new or used, mods, mileage etc.. cant be of help till you spill your beans a bit more!

 

my bad, its used 16000 on it now and, other then those little round mirrors people put on truck mirrors ( i guess the previous owner couldn't see anything) its bone stock.

 

mine has made noise since the day i got it, its very annoying but harmless

 

I think I have a bad throw out bearing as well. It makes a chattering noise not in gear with clutch pedal up, but the sound goes away when I press down on the clutch. For some reason the chattering is worse when I put the ac on...odd, I know. Another thing I notice from time to time is that when putting the car into gear at a dead stop it was nudge forward a bit. It's been making the noise after having the car 2 wks. My car is a year old and I haven't had any real problems since noticing it. I figured I have a 10 yr drivetrain warranty, and I'll use it when needed.

 

A bad T.O.B isn't harmless do some research. If I were you i'd replace is as soon as possible.

 

yea i drove it to work today and ampretty sure it is a trow out bearing. it makes the noise in gear too. i guess i'll have to take it in.....to bad i don't have money for a clutch right now it'd be a great time "hey while your in there can you trow this in"

 

The noise is normal. Trust me, it's not bad, it's a normal thing on these cars.

The EVO is not the only Mitsubishi that does it. Sure, you can get it fixed, but the noise will eventually come back.

Not entirely, if it is coming from the valves its normal. If you put the clutch in and it goes away then its the throw-out bearing (thrust bearing) This should be covered under warrinty.

 

I disagree, even the Exedy pamphlet says that clutches rattle and that it's normal. I do realize that it's the throw out bearing, but mine has rattled since I bought it, many others have had the same rattle. Lifter tick and TOB rattle, welcome to the world of 4g63.
