Throw out bearing noise I was looking at a 99 z28 that a member here has for sale and he mentioned a noise that I could faintly hear.
It sounded like a light clicking or clacking sound that was very faint.
It could be heard even when the car was just sitting there and idling with out the clutch engaged.
The owner said it was a loose throw out bearing...
Does this sound like the case? I've got no clue myself.
I don't recall if he said the sound goes away when tthe clitch is engaged...
Anybody know what this noise is and if it's related to the throw out bearing like the owner says?

Mine has always done that since new, I'm pretty sure it's normal throw out bearing noise. When you push the clutch in it goes away. If you turn the car off with the clutch out, it makes a real goofy sound too!

Some do make noise. As far as loose it shouldn't be loose. It is bolted down at the front by 2 bolts. It could be going out. Don't really know. if in question take it out by a trans shop and have them listen to it before you buy. I would.
