This is without a doubt the loudest new throwout bearing I ever heard.By the way in order for a throwout bearing to make as much noise as this it usually needed to be replaced.Normally this loud means a faulty throwout bearing.My first nissan but they definetly dropped the ball on this setup.
It is the norm for this car so we have to live with it.I hate to hear what it will sound like with maybe 50..60,000 miles on it.
Did previous 350 Z cars make the same throwout bearing noise?
