Synthetic tranny fluid cause throw out bering to be noisy? Last weekend I did a drain/fill on my 6spd corvette tranny with Royal Purple Syncormax. This is the first time that I've used a synthetic tranny fluid. Now it sounds like the throw out bearing is making alot of noise. I'm not really sure if its the throw out bearing. It makes a metal on metal noise that occurs when the car is in neutral and when the car is in gear with the clutch in or out. It is noticeable during deseleration but, not during acceleration. Do you think the noise is related to the synthetic fluid?

Thanks for the replies. The main reason I thought it might be the tranny fluid is that it is the only thing that I've changed. The noise has me concerned. It sounds like something is broken or going to break. Should I just ignore it or get a shop to take a look at it? I would hate to spend big $$ on something that can't be resolved. Next weekend I may put the OEM tranny fluid back in and see if it improves the noise. It could be a coincidence but, I need to rule it out before I waste time and money at a shop. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the thread. It sounds like it should have been ok to use the Royal Purple but, something is definitely wrong based upon the noise it is making. I'm nervous about driving it at this point. When I get back in town this weekend I'm going to try a drain/fill with plain old Dex III. If that doesn't cure it then who would you guys recommend in Houston to take a look at it? Thanks.
