ThrowOut Bearing Can someone give me a clue as to why I hear a thud after releasing the clutch in 1st Gear. It has happened twice in the first 400 miles. The Vette Video describes a bearing sound which I heard once which is characteristic of the 6th speed with the tunne design, but this thud sound was not described in the video. <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/corvette.gif" border="0" alt="[Corvette]" />

Re: ThrowOut Bearing In, and dis-engaging from a stop. I believe it wasn't completely in 1st gear to begin with. There's like a notch before another notch, and it's probably the case. Gear pops out, becaus eitis not seated properly in 1st to begin with, and then something dislodges and I hear that thud sound. It's very loud, as if I ran over something. Sound right to you?

Re: ThrowOut Bearing I had the same sort of issue when I first got my C5. (and still do once in a while). There is a sort of "second" notch feel in first and if you don't get it all the waya in it will happen. Give it a couple of weeks and you will be more comfortable with it.
