Questionable tranny

[Sliceolife]

I know I haven't donated. If one of you could tell me how I'd be glad too, but anyways, heres my problem.

My tranny makes a slight grinding noise when I'm sitting in neutral idling with the clutch OUT. When I push my clutch in, the noise goes away. You can repeat this however many times you want, the grinding never stops.

Today I had my clutch fully depressed shifting from first-second, and as I put it in 2nd, it grinded the gears on me, with the clutch fully depressed.

I have a powertrain warranty still for a couple more months, is this something I should get them to fix/replace or do you think they'll shrug me off? Any suggestions on what it is would be greatly appreciated


btw it's a 2007 with 18,000KM's on it.. roughly 11k miles.

Take it to the dealer.. Sounds like a shitty throw out bearing.

...Sounds like the throwout bearing has taken a dump... Weird though with so few miles.

You have confirmed my suspicion of a throw-out bearing

I have an service appointment already set in a couple days for other issues, I'll tell them to take a look at this.

No problem @Sliceolife and good luck with the repair.

This is normal on our car. Your car is fine.

This was kinda the point of the thread, but why did I get 2 answers of a throwout bearing? I called and the service is booked to look at this issue anyways.

+1 its kinda normal. If it starts squeeking then the tob is screwed. The noise is actually the trans bearings, truck transmissions make the same sound.

Yep, the dealer just told me that they went to a 2012 speed3 and the noise is there on that car too. Thanks for the help anyways guys! Better safe then sorry
