So, I'm trying to find a way to post a video of this, but being that I am on vacation, my resources are limited.
My 93 VX makes a couple noises of concern. Firstly, not the noise, but she shudders a good bit when you take off from a stop. It seemed to get a bit better after driving her a bit, but still obvious. (I just got this car and it had sat for along time.)
So, when in neutral and parked you can hear a rattle from the tranny. It actually sounds more like something loosly flopping around inside of it. Not too drastic. BUT, when you depress the clutch, the noise goes away. It's hard to tell if the sound is there while driving. I've only done a few test drives and it has minimal interior in it currently, so there is a lot of road noise in general.
Lastly, it seems that after the tranny has wamred up a bit, it starts a high pitched hum. The sound is constant, and THIS sound does not seem to change when the clutch it depressed.
I'm looking at going in thee to replace some parts, but I want to figure out what I should be getting. I had thought throwout bearing and no I am thinking input shaft bearing. I might just buy a whole clutch kit, with flywheel, and get the input shaft too. I also located a full tranny bearing kit for not a whole lot more than the inpt shaft by itself. I've rebuilt trannies before, so it wouldn't be too crazy of a task for me.
Any thoughts?
