I noticed that it all of the sudden got hard to shift out of 2nd and into 3rd and grind sometimes. Mechanic diagnosed that i needed a new T5. He put it in, Drove fine for 30 minutes, then the same thing happened again. Brought it back, he didnt know what to do - so he put in a throwout bearing (I had the master/slave done in januarary, and the clutch assembly in februrary). Again, drove fine for a half hour and then the problem developed.

What could this possibly be? After the car warms up, I hear something rattling underneath, faster at high rpms, and something squeaking - if i just touch the clutch pedal, the squeak goes away (i dont even have to push it that far, less than half an inch)

1986 V6 with a T5

 

How long did it take to "put in a throwout bearing"?

My guess is that it didn't actually happen, because that's what's wrong.

I left it there for the week - but i wouldnt be suprised if it didnt happen. He says the noise I am hearing is clutch chatter and he can get in there an fix it next week. I should correct myself though - I realize now, that the car gets into every gear fine and the noise occurs after that, more so if I get on the gas quick after I come off the clutch.
