Re: [tech]indepth transmission q.

["Joe Doty" <rocco2nr@hotmail.com>]

Thanks for the reply.

Are you sure that's what's making my noise?  I thought there was a bearing 
on the input shaft of the transmission other than the throw-out bearing.  Or 
is this just a seal? It makes the noise when the clutch is out.  When the 
car is in neutral it makes the noise, but when moving, the noise follows the 
rpms of the engine.

Thanks
Joe
