Hey guys,
My 96 D16Y4 non-vtec manual is making strange noises at idle and also when coming to complete stop.
At Idle and the manual transmission in neutral and the clutch out the car is making a noise that sounds almost like a "diesel motor idle noise". After I press in the clutch, the noise goes away. Could it be a diff?
Also the second weird noise is when I am coming to a slow complete stop or very slowing taking off, i hear what is best described as a "ratatatat" which increases or decreases according to the RPM's. After take off I cant seem to hear it. Sorry for the rough descriptions of the noise but the best description that i can come up with in words.
The car is stock except for an after market heavy duty clutch(not sure the brand) fitted a few years back which was the 2nd clutch used, the first being the stock one from new. No other mods and the car has done approximately 275,000 klms. I dont track it but I do give it spirited road driving.
The car seems to go fine but the noise is slowly getting louder. I have had a suggestion that its a input shaft bearing and/or other internal bearing in the transmission. Also it seems it would be wise to change the clutch as well.
So quick questions:
1. What sort of cost would a work of this magnitude cost ( I hear you ask long is a piece of string. :) and would it mean a decision of either seek a changeover gearbox or have my own gearbox sent off to get stripped and rebuilt? Estimate Cost of each?
2. Thinking of getting the Exedy Sports Tuff Heavy Duty clutch, which I have read through on this forum the majority seem to suggest.
I have had the car since new and I wish to retain the car if that also helps.
I am in Melbourne as well.
Thanks in advance for your help and wisdom and sorry for the essay. :o
