Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / May 2005Chances of new throw-out bearing going out?
What are the chances of a new throw-out bearing going out? Just have my clutch replaced, and I get home, and my truck is making this cool whining noise.. but if I push the clutch in .. it goes away... sigh I think you should be asking... what are the chances the clutch was not installed properly.

Sounds like something wasn't put back together properly. Take it back. It's not a throw out bearing if the noise goes away when you push in the clutch, it's more like countershaft bearings. Did the refill the transmission with the correct grade gear oil , or even fill it at all? > What are the chances of a new throw-out bearing going out?

Is the countershaft inside the transmission? Or it is the not so hard to replace front shaft bearing?

The pilot bearing is the bushing in the end of the crankshaft than the input shaft is supported with, the throwout bearing is what disengages the clutch pressure plate and is attached to the clutch fork.

Very common for people to notice noises AFTER a repair that were there before, they are looking for them. The only thing I can think of that might be different is the rubber shift boot that seals the shifter to the body is torn or not installed right and you're able to hear the noise more? SignatureSteve http://www.atlantaracing.com Dunno really, it's a used transmission from ebay ... live and learn I guess. Think she'll drive for awhile with a nice rattle/whine? I'm going to take my old transmission down and have someone rebuild it (I thought about doing it myself ... but ... ) >> What are the chances of a new throw-out bearing going out?

Why didn't you say this instead of saying it was just a new clutch? I never can understand why people don't tell -everything- when they ask a mechanic for help. People cost themselves MILLIONS of dollars a year in car repairs holding back information about their car's problems from the people working on them. It happens to us on a daily basis, like it's a test to see if we can figure out what really happened? Then when we tell them what we deduced they say "Oh yea I forgot to tell you we just did ____ to the car right before it started making this noise..." >>> What are the chances of a new throw-out bearing going out?

SignatureSteve http://www.atlantaracing.com Well, because, it was a new clutch, and .. I didn't think it was important. I was wrong, I can admit that. >> Dunno really, it's a used transmission from ebay ... live and learn I >> guess.

Even when i'm fishing they ussually leave out as much as they can, like they think it's will somehow be cheaper if they don't tell me they hooked some jumper cables up backwards, a huge spark came off the battery and some smoke came out from under the dash? Maybe it's just is because poeple don't think the details are important? I was mainly trying to tell you and other people they are VERY important and might save you thousands of dollars over your life to learn this lesson. Anything you can tell someone working on your car, the easier it will be for them to figure it out, which will just save you money. SignatureSteve http://www.atlantaracing.com Thanks Steve, I understand it completely. >> Well, because, it was a new clutch, and .. I didn't think it was >> important. I was wrong, I can admit that.
