What do I do to get rid of a whinning noise?

Question

I have a Ford Mustang and it has a standard transmission. Every time I turn, switch gears or just push in the clutch there is a whinning noise. I think it might have something to do with a bearing (front). Is that what it is?

Answer 1

Get a big gun and shoot it... .....

Just joking....


Sounds like you know or have an idea what you are talking about ..
Yes that sounds like the probably suspect..

You did not say how many miles you have on the vehicle. so i would probably have a mechanic check it out and listen to it. does it make this noise when you start the care and have the clutch pushed in????

With this type of noise there is a simple rule of thumb. If it makes the noise when the clutch is pressed and stops when released, it is a bad throwout bearing. If it makes the noise when the clutch is released and stops when it's pressed, it's input shaft bearings.

Check the fluid level and make sure it is full. But I would think that the input shaft bearings will need replacing


If its making the noise then you may need to have the clutch checked.

Answer 2

I can tell you it isn't the front (input) bearing on the transmission. generally the input shaft bearing will stop making noise when you push in the clutch pedal. the clutch release bearing will make noise (if it is going bad) when you apply pressure to the clutch pedal. i hope this helps

Answer 3

Replace the clutch throw out bearing

Answer 4

i was gonna say put your husband out, but you seem to have a real problem. Sorry I don't know. I don't think it's a bearing, usually that's a grinding noise if that goes. could be power steering. Sorry, don't know

Answer 5

get rid of the Ford and get a reliable car like any GM. Mechanics love Fords, they keep them in business.
