1G Weird Noise

[g0tEclipseD]

When I turn the car on in the morning on pretty cold starts, you can hear a whooshing/spinning sound. When you push clutch in, the sound goes away. When you let the clutch pedal out, the sound comes back. What is it?

Moved to problem diagnosis.

Do the RPM's change at all when pushing the clutch in??

They go down just a verrrrry little bit. Nothing noticeable, but you can see the needle move down a bit.

I'd like to know, mine does this aswell sometimes. And also when I take off the noise goes away around 2700rpms in first gear.

well if you had a 2g i would say Crankwalk. You could have a 7 bolt in there though, but the 2g 7 bolts are more prone to walk. After June of 92 is when they switched to 7 bolt

throw out bearing maybe? that doesnt really make a whooshing sound but going off what you said about the clutch pedal that might be it

I have a 6 bolt 1g. No crank walk for me. What could be wrong with the to bearing. somone else also mentioned it. What kinda sound would it make?

A crankwalking motor makes a whooshing noise upon startup(that is a serious question)? I would guess throw out bearing also. It doesnt make a whooshing noise but more of a rattling noise. Not sure what else it could be be though. Good luck!
