[eclips3_xs]

hi guys i got a squeaking sound coming out of the engine bay. Its squeaks constantly while driving and stood still. I found a solution but i cant fix it or make it go away. When i press the clutch stood still it goes away or if aim driving and just put my foot on the clutch pedal just a little tipsy pres like it goes away. how can i fix it?

T.o.b. ?????

^+! Yep, throw out bearing (tob) also called clutch release bearing. Unfortunately you have to pull the tranny to replace it. You don't have to replace it immediately (like stop using the car or anything). You can run it that way quite a while if you can stand the noise, but eventually you will have to replace it. If you're planning a new clutch soon this would be a good excuse.

Definitely sounds like the TOB.

I hate the little bastards...$20 part that takes 10 hours to replace

No way holy s**it i just replaced the clutch with used tranny like 5000 miles ago maybe i didn't lube it enough.

What T.O.B did you use?

Now that I think about it...a TOB usually sounds more like a high-pitched "rattle" than a squeak...although I can't think of anything else it could be given the conditions in which you hear it and what causes it to go away.
