Hello everyone, I need your expertise to pinpoint my problem on my 91 LX 5.0L.
There is a knocking noise coming from the tranny. This noise occurs only when the clutch pedal is free and my foot does not touch it. Also, it does not matter if the transmission is in gear or not.
When I do a full stop and have the car on neutral, I clearly hear the knocking sound, but as soon as I barely touch the clutch pedal, the noise goes away. It seems it just needs a very little stress in the clutch cable to make it stop.
I get this noise also when the car is running and is in deceleration. Example, if I am in third gear at 3000 rpm and drop the gas to slow down, I will then have the knocking noise but at a quicker knocking rate.
I've read about many problems with the throw-out bearing but there is different opinions on this.
Thanks, Nick
