Hello all,
My car is a 95 with 32K miles and I?ve always noticed what I can best describe as soft groan sound only in first gear when letting out the clutch. Has anyone ever experienced this? Curious to know if it?s the clutch or the transmission? As far as I know it?s the original clutch and the trans has been serviced. TIA. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

I believe that is about the mileage where I replaced my clutch. Only thing actually bad was the throw out bearing.

If you go there, be sure you are aware the pilot bushing/bearing has to be PULLED, not driven out with grease like a normal small block.

Craig, I have the same sound, was told it was my ABS waking up.

77 k miles. Original clutch. I had those noises a while back but went away. Don?t fix what is not yet really broke. Moana and groans are every time I try to get out of my Z!

Thanks. 100% agreed. I?m not changing the clutch because of a groan. I can live with it, just want to know what is it and if I can mitigate it. It?s just weird. Hell, I moan and groan every morning when I get out of bed. 😆

It was a squealing groan with clutch suppressed when cold. Figured it was throw out bearing or flywheel/ main shaft bushing. Most likely the latter. Hasn?t done it for 5 years. Returned from MR/10/Gather last night. 2 more thousand miles for a total of 77,750. Heading to 100k.
