Why do I hear this sound??
Why do I hear this sound?? If I come to a stop, car is not in gear, the clutch peddal is out, sounds like a light rubbing sound from the tranny. When I push the peddal in, it goes away, is this the flywheel?? What would cause this sound??

uhhhhhh....I don't think so..........that sound is your worn throwout bearing. The type of shifter has nothing to do with it.

Not exactly. If it's a light wirring, almost rubbing sound. He's just hearing the flywheel. After I put my B&M on I could hear it. Same with every other car I've been in with an aftermarket shifter. Now if it's a shrieking sound or a rattle then it may be the throwout bearing.

Verdad Gallardo Ya, tranny noise is usually emitted through aftermarket shifters. But, if you can hear the whirring sound outside underneath the car, then that is your throwout bearing, more than likely.
When the clutch is out and the trans is in neutral, the transmission gears are all spinning at the engine rpm. Sure you're gonna hear some noise. Add to that a big cam and the transmission will actually clunk at idle while its lopeing. Doesnt sound like a throwout bearing to me.
