Whining Noise with clutch up


Cray Z

Recommended Posts

I have a 2017 Nismo 370z. I bought it brand new, but over time, there is a whining sound that has appeared.  It sounds like its the clutch bearing, however on speaking with the master tech at Nissan, he reckons its the gearbox and its normal.  He said i could have the gearbox changed under warranty, however its likely to make no difference.

 

Is this a characteristic or is he feeding me pork pies!

 

There is a whining noise when the car is running and in neutral, when i depress the clutch it disappears.  At biting point.

Yeah, noisy 1st motion shaft bearing in the gearbox, characteristic fault, however, depends on how noisy it really is and if the gearbox warrants replacement.

When you depress the clutch, the 1st motion shaft stops turning.

should i have it changed or not?  I did ask the MT to make a note when they service the car, so should it go bang in the future they take some liability.  He agreed to do that.  However i am thinking maybe i should just bite the bullet and have it done now.
