So I start up my car this fine afternoon, and I near a noise. Its hard to describe, but it sounds like that wood block that you use to hit in elementary school during music class. The speed of the noise was directly proportional to the RPM's. What was weird was that when I would touch the clutch, it would stop. When I say touch the clutch, I mean just put my foot on it, and take the slack that is left from the factory (those with manuals know what I'm talking about) it goes away. I talked with my dad, and he says it sounds like the throw out bearing (he was on the phone, so he hasn't heard it up close yet). I was wondering what everyone here thought.

 

Could be the TO bearing, could be the clutch. Either way you've got to take it apart to fix it. You might be able to just remove the TO bearing and grease it.

 

Ill probably just replace it on GP.

Forgot to mention that I have a NAPA clutch. 2 days after everything was put together and I was driving my Firebird, I read on here how much the NAPA clutch sucks ***, as how much it chatters. Well, its very possible that the chatter caused this, or maybe it just needed replaced.
