When it is in neutral it makes a loud grinding noise. I'm not sure, but I don't think that would be the throughout barring. The noise quits when I push in the clutch and when its in gear. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,771 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,771 | That sounds like an input shaft bearing or cluster gear needle bearings. Does the noise get quieter in high gear? If so, you have cluster gear needle bearing problems.
