After buying this car, I noticed a noise when idling with the clutch out, and it went away with the clutch pushed in. Me and others came to a general consensus that it was the clutch throwout bearing. So last weekend(finally after almost a year) me and my mechanic buddy put in a new Exedy Stage 1 clutch kit, that included a pilot bearing throwout bearing, pressure plate, friction disc, and a new OEM flywheel. The clutch that we had replaced was worn unevenly like it want aligned right, but was only half worn, and the pressure plate was weak and also the flywheel (it said "Modular" on it so I guess original?) had warp circles on it. During the install, we discovered 1 bellhousing to engine bolts broken off, passenger side header-mid-pipe bolt broken that someone attempted to drill thru but quit halfway, and a top transmission bolt that was crossthreaded 1 inch into the engine and left there sticking out... The dealer was the last people to be in the transmission who supposedly put a new clutch in.... So, after fixing all of those things, and finishing the install that took 15 straight hours laying on concrete.... You guessed it, the noise is still there. The clutch chatter that I had is gone, but the sound that sounded like the throwout bearing is still there. Below is a video I took last year of the noise, it still sounds the same.
The throwout bearing that I took out did have a noise when I spun it by hand, so it did need to be replaced, but there is still a sound there. My transmission has sounded like an 18 wheeler trans since I've had it, but I just kind of figured the noises was from the bearing. Like if I'm slowing down to turn into my driveway, and once I get to idle speed and put it into 1st gear and it gets a load on it, it make a whine and a rattling sound that comes from under the shifter, and seems like a vibration can be felt thru the shifter. It will also whine some under normal driving in 1st, 2nd, and I can hear some whine while in 5th if I add throttle. If I'm rolling up to a light, and I go to put it into first gear around 10mph or so, it kind of hesitates like it doesn't want to go into gear until something spins up in the tranny, and once it spins up it will make a whine, I'm guessing that's the syncros, but is is that normal?
Anyways, I fear my transmission is dying. I've heard that the t3650 is noisy... but damn
