Thought it was bearings in one of my pulleys but I'm not hearing it real well while standing in front of the motor with the hood up. If I get on the ground I hear it better under the car. What could this be? It doesn't do it all the time.
Harmonic Balancer for sure. They are known to warp in these cars. Mine went on my stock engine to, cheap and easy fixFox5.0 said:The only thing under neath there that I can think would be the harmonic balancer look at the rubber strip that goes around it if it's not flush or cracked /broken off it will make it hum and usually wobble
There is zero play in this, could it still be bad? How do you go about changing it out?Brett Greene said:Harmonic Balancer for sure. They are known to warp in these cars. Mine went on my stock engine to, cheap and easy fix
What could that be?93slowstang said:Have you listened near the back of the motor, it may be in that area.
Yes it is but it does it whether it's pushed to the floor or not.93slowstang said:Possibly your throw out bearing, assuming it's a manual.
So is mine. I'm changing it tomorrow because of that.jhagan1980 said:Yes it is but it does it whether it's pushed to the floor or not.
Changing what? Throw out bearing? Will it squeal if the pedal is pushed down?93slowstang said:So is mine. I'm changing it tomorrow because of that.
No it doesn't get louder at anytime but it does come and go. Nothing has changed recently. I've read where it can spin so you can check it by marking the two pieces with a line. Drive it for awhile and check for the lines to still match up.Fox5.0 said:No it's not to hard chilton Manuel should get u through it but make sure it's bad first did u see the rubber piece I was talking about if it's not looken bad not it more info might help does get louder or quiter at anytime any thing changed recently
Yeah the throw out bearing, it's a pain to do right now but it's gotta be done, and yes it was squealing even with the pedal pushed in.jhagan1980 said:Changing what? Throw out bearing? Will it squeal if the pedal is pushed down?
It should only really take a day, maybe 2 if you take your time. It would be a good time to change your clutch if it is your TOB.jhagan1980 said:It's not a DD, if it was the TOB would it be alright to make it a winter project?
Sorry I should've clarified better, would it be safe to drive occasionally till winter? I'm not gonna screw anything up by doing so, right?93slowstang said:It should only really take a day, maybe 2 if you take your time. It would be a good time to change your clutch if it is your TOB.
If that is the problem it might make it without doing any damage. It will definitely screw the clutch up if it breaks apart.jhagan1980 said:Sorry I should've clarified better, would it be safe to drive occasionally till winter? I'm not gonna screw anything up by doing so, right?
