Clutch Chatter??

DooDooBrown · 01-12-2010, 02:12 PM

Noticed a chattering noise from my engine compartment a couple thousand miles ago. Nothing big, however, I did notice it. Just got back from a 100 mile drive, and now it is a very noticable chatter. I think it is the clutch because when I depress the clutch pedal, the noise goes away... Any ideas?? Car has 7750 miles on it....
Thanks

Its pretty widely known that the throw out bearing on our car are quite noisy, although I don't know if I would describe it as a chatter. To me, it sounds like - well a bearing spinning, but that probably doesn't help.

My 370Z has made that same noise since day 1. No harm, just annoying.

Alright, cool, a bearing is exactly what it sounds like... As long as I am not the only one who has noticed this! Thanks!

I've got it too. Annoyed me enough that I took it in. They checked it, compared it to others, and said it was normal.
