hey guys, say i put it inneutral and start the car, no noise but if i throw it in first then back into neutral and let the clutch out, i hear a spinning noise going along with the engine, ive heard this could be the input shaft bearing or something like that

btw this is a 87 formual 350- from a auto- manual trans swap

 

Put it in neutral and push the clutch in, does it go away? If so I'd bet it's the throwout bearing.

 

yep quiets right down with the clutch in

now will this hurt the clutch or anything, jw because i probly wont have cash/resources to go hinkering around in there for a while

 

throwout bearings are very cheap. I think I got mine for like 8 bucks canadian when I did mine.

Its a quick job, just get it done before the thing seizes on you. Its a pretty simple swap, undo u joint, pull tranny and bell housing, pop old one out, slip new one in. re assemble, and gravity bleed your clutch, or don't and only bleed if you have to pump your clutch for it to work.

 

so say it seizes, what happens? lol
