Is it only doing it while driving and not engine rev dependant?

If so, I would look at the drive shaft carrier bearings.

Can you get the car solidly on stands or a lift and get the wheels spinning? Once everything is moving, and the noise starts, you can walk around it and try and pinpoint the cause.

Please be careful with this method and have someone in the car you trust that can stop the wheels if something bad happens.

If you cannot replicate the noise in the air, it may be wheel bearing noise under the wiegth of the car.

OK, so even if the car is cruising along and the clutch is pressed in (disengaged) the noise goes away? Does it do it in neutral when the car rolling and the clutch released (flywheel to disc engaged)?

Then it must be the throwout bearing.

We had someone say throwout bearing before, so we ordered a clutch that should be here Friday....


Again we will get another video JSB style, for a more further investigation.

Gearbox bolts tight?
Could the fork be rubbing the pressure plate?
Could the flywheel ring gear be rubbing the bellhousing?

Flywheel inspection plate?
