Ok need some help!!!
Ok when I start up my car (which is a 92 323 1.6lt 4cly) I hear a type of sqeaking coming from the engin bay.
so maybe like a seal or someone by the belt. I can't really track it down. but when I am in the car it seems to be coming from the left side of the car. Like right in front of the stearing wheel.
Let me say this if this will help. I just got a new clutch put in a few weeks ago. So I guess it could be coming from that area. I mean other than that it runs just fine for now. I was just trying to see if its something I could track down.
Also I am having break problems again.
Ok just had the rear breaks done. They where fine but now sometimes I hear a noise like a small (thump thump) I mean really small just like a small noise no vibration.
Ok and in the front I had a mechanic look at the front breaks he said they looked fine. But I was filling a nocking noise on my right side. So I took a look at it. Didn't see any thing. So I figured the rotor was bad. Considering that that side was involed in an accident I figured they never changed the rotor so I did that and it drove well for about a week. No noise.
So its back now and I really don't know what to do. I am not sure if my calipers are bad or just the pads. I mean I am just getting ready to just replace as much of it as I can.
I really need help on this one.
I need to know what to do and what to look for.
I really need to get a digital camra or just take some pics so you all can see.

lol yeah I knew it would be a hard one to tell.
Only when the car starts up and when the clutch is in netural. After I start driving it doesn't do it.

If you are sitting still and idling with the clutch out, that would point to a noisy throw out bearing. If the noise goes away soon as the clutch is pushed in, that is a dead give away of the throw out bearing. Being as you just had a clutch job done thats where I would start.

RE: Ok need some help!!!
Well I mean this only really happens on start up. But I mean I just had the whole clutch replaced. I mean I had the full kit installed.
What doest the throw out bearing do?
Is that part of the Transaxle?
It gets kind of fuzzy here for me in this area. I mean I understand the conspeces but when it comes to working on it I am at a lose.
at least for now untill I can get some more school in.
I mean its been running fine since I got it back. only sticks sometimes trying to get in to first but that has pretty much gone away.

RE: Ok need some help!!!
The throw out (or release) bearing is what contacts the pressure plate to disengage the clutch from the engine so you can change gears. It fits on a sleeve and is on the other end of the clutch pedal inside the trans.

RE: Ok need some help!!!
so did that not come in the clutch kit I got?
I mean I though they replaced every thing because I got the kit not just the pressure plate and the few other things I needed to fix it. thats why I spent the extra dough and got the whole kit.
I mean could this just be because its new???
