Unhappy Year 2000 Chirping sound from Trans Help

Hi,

This is my first post on this forum, please let me know if I have posted in the wrong area or need to change anything..

I have already replaced my clutch, Full OEM + ACT Pressure plate/Flywheel. I've also replaced my belt tensioner, and none of that had resolved the sound.

This video is not mine, however it does reciprocate the sound on my car fairly well. I have also had a shop confirm that the sound is coming from my transmission.


I haven't been able to find any solution or reason as to why my car is making this sound. I am not having any difficulties shifting or anything. If I had to complain about a problem that was coincidently getting worse when the sound had appeared, it would be getting into first gear or reverse from a complete stop.
Mainly reverse, I would constantly need to shift through all my gears in hopes that I could get into the reverse gear.

I'm just curious if anyone else had this problem and what it might be.

Yeah, present in neutral and when clutch is pushed in and gear engaged.

Also checked all the pulleys, replaced belts. Next I was going to check my AC belt..

Default Same problem here

Did you ever find a solution? I just did a full flywheel/clutch/pressure plate replacement and I still have the chirping noise

Did you pack the inner ring of the Throw Out Bearing with grease and coat the input shaft & Threads with the special grease that comes with the clutch kits usually or at least just regular grease ?

Sounds like the Throw Out Bearing is dry to me just listening to the video.

Think the pilot bearing is a sealed unit. But, it does sound like dry or damaged bearing. A drag, since transmission would need to come out... again.

S2000 OEM pilot bearing. S2000 OEM pilot bearing.

Ive never found the problem, nor has anyone else I’ve taken it to. Ive just started to ignore it since it’s been almost 3 years now and it drives fine? Lol
