i had to get the car towed the other day. its making a very weird and grinding noise when u start driving it. i missed a shift at high rpm and it started making a very loud noise. the car will start moving but once u go a little more then 5 mph it makes the horrible noise and disappers when u step on the clutch and put in nuetral.lets say you put it in 1st gear and start driving it makes a very weird and loud noise. even in every gear. i dont think its the clutch cuz then the car wouldnt move at all. the noise doesnt happen right away, maybe when your traveling about 5 mph. can some one please help me out. i dont even know where to take the car.

 

^^You need to see if your car is throwing any codes.

When you over-revved the motor you may have bent some pushrods or worse (bent valves, etc)

 

no codes were thrown

 

Does the car make any noises in neutral or only when moving?

 

only when moving, not when in nuetral

 

^^That would seem to indicate you have a driveline problem versus engine. Is the noise coming from the front or back of the car?

The tranny and differential are in the rear of the car.

Are you having problems shifting gears?

 

I am wondering if its the rear diff? My husband missed a gear the other day, fortunately there wasnt any noises, but it did start to leak fluid from the passenger rear diff. Him and another guy are currently trying to fix it. Just my 2 cents! Good luck, I know how frustrating it can be when your car acts up!

 

i cant drive the car at all. it would start making noises once i go more then like 3 mph. i tried to start driving in 2nd gear and does the same thing.

 

anyone else think they might know what could be wrong? hope i dont have to get a new transmission

 

could very well be the throwout bearing. If you have someone with a lift, you could put the car in the air and attempt to duplicate the noise, and at least tell if it is coming from the bellhousing or the trans/diff. area

 

i hope i dont have to replace the whole transmission!! if i do then i cant get it fixed for a while then

 

the car is making a bad metal on metal grinding noise, no noise idling,and it get really bad when you start to accelerate

 

Sounds like something either in the diff or in the output shaft side of the tranny.

Its nothing forward of the rear of the toque tube, or even forward of the input shaft in the tranny for that matter as it all spins when the clutch is out in neutral.

But we can guess all day long. Get it home, print out Dopes clutch install directions, and instead of removing the entire torque tube, split the tranny off the rear of the TT and then split it off the diff and see whats buggered up.

Not a clutch, or throwout bearing, or torque tube bushing, its something in the output side of the tranny(bearing, broken shaft, or mangled gear).

Its a corvette it will be expensive, sorry.

 

how much do u think this kinda work cost?

 

Depends on what is broken. Any where from a couple hundred to a couple grand. Get it tore apart and see what broke.

 

well i finally took the car to a shop and i find out that i need a new clutch, they gave me a price of $1487 with parts.
Im fine with the labor but the OEM Clutch kit is costing $545. Can i find a better deal online? if so please help me out

 

Whoa .... Boris .... baby .... something isn't right here.....

Your initial description (including your own gut feeling) is that it is not the clutch ...... but now you're willing to pay some shop $1500 to replace the clutch ????

Here's what I want you to do ........

Start engine. Put transmission in neutral. take your feet OFF the pedals. That is, the clutch is engaged, but with the car in neutral it won't go anywhere. Now slowly accelerate the engine to ... say 3000 RPM. Does the noise appear ????

Reduce engine speed to idle ..... step on clutch peddle ..... KEEP CAR IN NEUTRAL gear ...... raise engine RPM to 3000 and release clutch pedal (since you're in NEUTRAL the car won't move) ...... Does the noise appear ???

If the answer is NO to both scenarios .... your problem is in the transmission or differential ..... you most likely don't have a clutch problem, and your earlier posts seem to support this.

I'd be VERY cautious if a sop says you have a clutch problem based on what you posted before ..... get them to agree to FIX the problem for $1,500 regardless of whether it is the clutch, transmission, or differentail (or even all three) and you have a deal. Otherwise ...... look for another shop.

If it helps .... with the gearbox in NEUTRAL ..... with the clutch pedal to the floor and the engine running ..... the ONLY parts that are spinning are the engine and clutch assembly. The prop shaft (inside the torque tube) to the rear end is standing still, as is the input shaft to the tranny. With the gearbox in NEUTRAL and the clutch pedal untouched (clutch engaged) .... you are spinning the engine, clutch, drive shaft (prop shaft) and input shaft to the gearbox.

If you aren't hearing noises with the gearbox in NEUTRAL your problem is MOST LIKELY in the gearbox or differential.

 

yea there is no noise when the car is in nuetral. they had one of their mechanics drive the car and he said its def the clutch.

 

Then get them to agree to FIX the problem for $1,500 regardless of whether it is the clutch, transmission, or differentail (or even all three) and you have a deal. Otherwise ...... look for another shop.

If you broke something in the clutch you would hear noise in NEUTRAL ... or you'd have clutch slip. Sure sounds to me like something in the diff or tranny .... does the noise appear to be coming from the rear of the car ..... or from under your feet ????

 

its hard to explain where the noise is coming. i never had a manual car before and i dont know exactly what clutch slipping even means.
