Clutch throwout bearing noise [Sound Clip]

Mitco39 · 05-29-2013, 11:30 AM

I have yet to see a stock bearing fail on a CSC, usually the seal goes that holds the pressure from the clutch and then you get no pedal in the car.

I am interested to know if anyone else experiences the same noise or perhaps it can be a seal issue as Mitco stated and in that case it should be covered under warranty ?

My dealership is excellent in attending to my needs as per past experience with warranty claims. The car is an 09 with 65k so, power train warranty should be 5 years from what I understand.

Thread is a little old but I'm going to bump it up and see if you got an answer from the dealer. This noise just started at 30, 000 mi on my car. It sounds exactly the same as your video. I have a 6 puck with lw flywheel and the upgraded csc, so a total different set up making the same noise. Dealer will not even diagnose the issue due to the upgraded clutch. Service advisor was adament that it was the input shaft bearing...

It seems unlikely that the issue has anything to do with my clutch since we have a video of the stock one doing the same thing. What did they end up telling you? Did they repair the issue on your car?

OP indicated to me that the dealer diagnosed the problem as a csc failure. This seems unlikely as the symptoms of a typical failure do not match with this noise. Csc failed on my car thus I upgraded the clutch and csc. Anyone else take a listen to the clip and have any ideas?

I have this noise for about 6 month now. I think is the throw out bearing what causing it. I don't think it harm anything. I think the 350z also have the same issue (correct me if I'm wrong).
