Help please, I need to go back to base in a week!

[SoNew]

So I drive all the way from Fort Campbell Kentucky to Green Bay Wisconsin to see my sister get married, great. Car runs great. Then 816 miles after I leave base and this noise happens. I dont have my jack, tools, etc. I need to report back to Fort Campbell in ONE WEEK. So heres a video of the noise. The noise goes away when i push the clutch in so I'm guessing this noise from hell is either my throw out bearing or pressure plate?
Any help diagnosing this problem would be amazing and if anyone in the area wants to lend a "helping hand" (meaning your help, your garage, your tools) it would be awesome and I would provide Beer, pizza, food, any help would be amazing thanks guys.
heres a link to the death sound.

There is a dsm friendly tuning shop in green bay..I can't remember what it's called right now..But a google search couldn't hurt..They should be able to get you fixed up fairly easy.

I'm guessing you're talking about beyond redline performance. I've never dealt with them and I've heard good and bad, but I prefer going to the same mechanic that my dad has been for 15+ years. So you guys think its just the throwout bearing?

 

[Lofty]

It could be the throw out bearing, but either way you need to drop the trans to see what is going on.

I'm in the area, kinda...

sounds like a throw out bearing. I had my clutch replaced a few days ago, because I was having a similar problem.

My vote is for throwout bearing. See you soon at Campbell. Hopefully my curtailment goes through and I will be there in a couple of months. Good luck with your ride.

Sounds nice man. Dropping the tranny on a GST should take an inexperienced guy about 3 -4 hours. It will go back together a little faster assuming ya dont lose anything. Complete clutch would run about 5-700 for a quality unit with flywheel. Thats just a little more than most shops will charge for an oem replacement job. You could maybe get away with just a TOB but you wont know till its apart. Sucks. If I had the cash to come out there I would come help you do it.

 

[Boostinsideways]

Not true, you can get an XTD setup for 300 or so

[mindset]

If your clutch is fine, why replace it? Just do the TOB.

 

[Mackadoches]

First, you have to get the issue diagnosed before talking about replacing parts. You don't want to spend money on stuff that still works.

 

[tenn-gsx]

Hence why I pointed out that replacing with a Quality aftermarket unit will cost just a little more than having the shop pull the trans and replace with a OEM unit. Pull the trans yourself and find out whats wrong. Could get away with a TOB only.

I dont personally consider XTD quality.

 

[SoNew]

Thanks for all the advice guys I'm pulling the tranny tonight at a buddies house. We've done his BMW but never a Dsm so it'll be a new experience for me. I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

[tenn-gsx]

Good luck. Its really not too hard if your mechanically inclined. Just takreyour time and ask if you get lost.

 

[Lofty]

Thread cleaned up.

Keep the vendor reviews to ebay aye!

GOOD SELLER A++++ WILL TRANSACT AGAIN.

Flame war averted!

 

[tenn-gsx]
