i have no idea what you just said. decrease the font size. take it out of bold and italics and reword the statement. what kind of noise? noise what general area do you hear it? how many miles on the car?

 

[stangrider08]

it comes from the engine or transmission and the car has 15 240 miles and sounds like a diesel truck lol but i change the oil every 3000 miles and i take it to the dealer to do all that stuff and now i dont have money to take it again and find out what could it be

Have you checked your oil level? Color of the oil?

Piston slap seems to be a problem with some of these engines... it will sound like a diesel untill it starts to warm up.

 

[stangrider08]

yeah but still when the car is hot still doing the same noise and yeah i did check everything and i don't know what is going on with it ! cause the car runs great and theres not a problem when i drive it fast

Is it while it's running and you push the clutch in you hear it, or just on start up? Could be anything from a bad throw out bearing in an already running car, to loose timing chains on cold start up?

try taking a video and posting it up so we can hear what your talking about.

much better now that you fixed it!!

if the noise is only when you push the clutch in i would think that it is the throwout bearing.


what does the noise sound like? squealing, squeaking, knocking, ticking? also how many miles on the car?

 

[Gearbanger 101]

also how many miles on the car?

the car has 15 240 miles

 

[stangrider08]

that noise comes when i push the clutch in !! whenever i turn on the car cause when i put it on neutral the noise is gone

 

[stangrider08]

and the car has less than 19 000 miles and its a ford mustang gt 40th

 

[Gearbanger 101]

that noise comes when i push the clutch in !! whenever i turn on the car cause when i put it on neutral the noise is gone

But what I'm asking is, does it make the noise when the car is already running. Like say when you're sitting at a stop light in neutral and push the clutch in, to get it into get. With the statement above, you make it sound as though the sound is only heard on start up?

 

[stangrider08]

its when the car is already running and yeah when im sitting at a stop light in neutral and push the clutch in that is when i hear the noise

 

[Gearbanger 101]

Ahhh, then in that case I'd look at your transmissions throw out bearing as being the problem and either tear into it yourself, or have one of your local mechanics take a look at it to confirm.

Anyone else have a different opinion?

lightly push down on clutch pedal,do not release clutch. If you hear noise, it's the throwout bearing. if the noise is only present with the clutch to floor it's more than likely the pilot bearing. ethier way time to pull trans. might want to upgrade clutch while your in there

 

[stangrider08]

yeah it happens just when the clutch is all the way to the floor
