Grinding noise in clutch

[NickBarrFishing.com]

When I let the clutch out in 2nd gear (starting gear since 1st is soo low) I get a small grinding "Clunching sound as I call it" sound? It does not do it in other gears. Is this normal?

Also, when I let my foot off the clutch into nuetral, the transmission makes a small whirring noise if I could explain it. Its not really loud at all.

Just wondering

When i let out the clutch in neutral on my blazer i get the same "whirring" noise. I could never figure it out. I just figure it's engine vibrations due to the solid flywheel. Do you have a Solid flywheel or the dual mass flywheel?

you might just need to replace the clutch

dry throw out brg mebby.

Hope not. Throwout bearings new along with everything else(clutch, flywheel, pressure plate etc) when i put the trans in not 1,500 miles ago. The Throwout bearing turned very nicely and was pre-greased.

Meh it drives fine, back to the OPs problem.

our 98 does that, and sorry to say, but your tranny might be getting wore.

Here are our symptoms: It is quiet when clutch is in, but clutch out in neutral, it growls, and second is the noisiest gear, and it is kinda hard to do 1-2 upshifts.

Are you using the special fluid? (Gm, 20 bucks a quart, amsoil, about 10-12 a quart) I would say get some amsoil from one of our local vendors.

Good luck!

i asked my dad and he said it was sycronizers are going out

I get the whirling noise too. never found a cause. I figure it's the transmission turning over. you'll know when the syrcro's are going. It's a PITA to shift at all.

Ok. I'm not so worried about it. If it was a problem it would've blown by now i'd think.

if you think about, 3/4 of the gears are turning even in neutral. the shifter only slides rings over two gears and locks them together. the synco's help line them up. that and the top 1/3 of the one set is out in the 'open'(not sitting in oil).
