weird grinding noises when i start my car when the engine isn't hot

Post by **musclesgabe** » Sat Nov 30, 2002 3:35 pm

when ever i start up my 95 240 when i haven't driven in a couple hours and the engine isn't hot, it makes a weird grinding noise when i push down the clutch, wether i have it in gear or not. after about 1 min of driving its like what ever was grinding got wet and doesn't do it anymore. any one know what the prob might be?

throwout bearing?

can't say i know what that is

Could be the release bearing or the pilot bushing in the end of the crankshaft. Either way I would do a complete clutch job if I were going to go that far to replace the release bearing or pilot bushing.

i had the same problem ....it is your throwout bearing in your tranny ...dealing with your clutch!! just change it out and everyhing will be alright!!

Yup I had the same thing happen to me. I replaced mine twice with cheap Pep Boys crap bearings...then I got a Centerforce one and it hasn't happened yet, and it's been a couple years now.

thanks for the help. i am really tight on money right now so is this something i HAVE to do now or can put some more months on it. i put about 300 to 400 miles a week on my car.

its something that can wait a little as long as your not abusing the engine.
