transmission bearing noise - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

8cam · 01-02-2015

My transmission has always had the "rocks in a can" noise with the clutch engaged - disengage it and it gets quiet. But this is a new noise, I heard before on a couple rare occasions but just today got really frequent, like almost every trip through the gears. It's a loud whine/growl (fairly low-pitched) that is momentary, when I disengage the clutch and shift. It seems to happen as I'm either leaving one gear, or going into the next gear. Once in gear, or in neutral, and it's gone. It doesn't happen on every shift, but happened on a bunch right at the end of a 250 mile journey this afternoon. Does this sound like a throwout bearing going bad?
