I was out the other night crusing around and raced some people then we cruised on the highway for a while and my clutch seem to get noticably stiffer. Its back to normal now but i was just wondering what was going on there. Also, when the car is on in neutral w/ the clutch out, it makes a quiet rattle noise then when i push the clutch in it stops Can someone tell me whats going on there too please.

Thanks, Chris.

 

The rattle is probably a throw out bearing or pilot bearing.

 

Do i need to replace the throwout bearing soon then?

Also, my shifter kind of stuck in 3rd gear and was harder than usual to get out but not to bad. Bent slider?

 

I wouldn't be too worried about it. Sounds like you'll be in the market for a clutch after a while. Just replace it when you do the clutch.

 

throwout bearing or slave loose or broken, better start looking for a clutch,
