GT owners - Neutral clutch noise?

[Jahntassa]

Alright, I noticed the other day that when I have the car sitting in neutral, with the clutch released, there's quite an audible difference than when the clutch is in. Sadly, when I get paranoid about something being wrong with the car, I tend to forget how the car was beforehand.. So basically, does anyone else hear a noticble difference between having the clutch in and out in neutral? Or am I just hearing it now because i'm worried about the clutch slipping?

The noise that you are hearing could be coming from the throwout bearing spining when you release the clutch in neutral. It will make "some" noise, but it should not be "excessive" like a bearing going bad. If that is the case, go to the dealer before you're out of warranty.

a friend of mine has an 03 GT, and the throw out bearing has gone out several times, poor car has a bad tranny and it's been in the shop 4 times now

mine makes a slightly diffeent noise and with the motor mounts its evident with the engine vibrations, but im not concerned. my trans is shot probly anyway from grinding 2nd 50% of the time i race

Looks like i'll be trying to hit up the dealer tomorrow...

Mine does it(sounds different in neutral)it's been like that from day one.Mines normal noise.Theres a name for it but it escapes me,but it has something to do with having no load on the transmission.I think this may have been brought up before....
