A pal has a '91 Rodeo with a 5-speed/V-6. He is getting a noise from
the tranny when the clutch is engaged. Sounds to me like a bearing in
the input or lay shafts. Any ideas/experiences? He has it out. Are
these things difficult to work on? Are parts hard to find?
Expensive? Would a re-build tranny be a good idea? Thanks in
advance.

I suppose you mean when the clutch is disengaged, as when the peddle is
pushed? If so, probably is the throwout bearing. No need to rebuild
the tranny. Replace the throwout bearing which is usually inexpensive.
Since the tranny needs to be removed in order to replace the throwout
bearing, the clutch and pressure place should be replaced as well. Some
people will have the plate turned but I feel it's wiser to replace it
because of the labor involved to replace it later.

I miss-spoke. The noise is there when it is in neutral or when
moving. It is not there when the Rodeo is stopped and the clutch is
dis-engaged. Thanks.
