Default New noise

While decelerating the other day, along with the usual clutch buzz I heard a new noise that sounds like its coming from somewhere behind the steering column. It starts out real loud and slowly dies down along with road speed. It almost sounds like an electrical noise mixed with a drill that dentists use.

It almost sounds like the sound at the beginning of "Body Movin" except in reverse lol.

clutch buzz theres a tsb for it but its not unsafe to drive. the only way to get rid of the sound is to put a new clutch in it. it wont do any harm to keep driving it like that. if your still under warrenty you can get it replaced

I believe I have the same noise. Haven't dug into it yet to find out what it is, lol.


When ever it happens I just sing "body movin, body movin, body movin, we be body movin" to drown it out.

Like someone grinding a lawnmower blade inside of a port-o-potty.

mine has something similar, i can reach under the column and feel this metal piece that is probably 3 inches wide and like it folds and both end point toward the ceiling, hell i cant explain it but if you hold onto mind it will stop makin that noise so im gonna stuff some 3m tape or somethin up in there. I can take a pic maybe if need be.
