Corolla Clutch noise

paulginger2

Hi all, i am having an issue where if i press the clutch in fully it makes a "whirring" noise. From reading online i hear that its a throwout bearing thats going.

Is the an issue needing to be dealt with asap?
I assume it will get worse?
If it needs to be replaced, should i do all clutch parts at the same time?

Does these kits come with everything required for the job?

I am going to be doing a lot of driving soon, have an hour commute to do every day,each way, new job so dont wanna be stuck on the side of the road someday

Any help, guidance and advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

What Mileage is on the Car ?
Has the clutch been replace recently ?
The release bearing is only in use when the clutch is depressed.
I never came across one failing to destruction.
All Items can be purchased separately.
But if it's annoying you you have time to budget for a three part Kit.
But is not going to let you down in the short time.

€ 250 all in would be a competitive price.

Just coming up on 96,000mls i would doubt it ever was replaced.
Thats a relief anyhow that i have some time to save up.
Is it a job that can be tackled by myself, or does half the car have to be taken apart?

It might save me more hassle in the longrun to just buy the kit and have it fitted.
I plan on driving this car until its a dead duck.

Thanks for your help

Unless your handy and have a pit or a lift its not worth it.
The gear box has too be split from the engine.
Shop around for a garage fit for € 250 or less.

This will give you an idea:

Ha ha well that is certainly way beyond anything i could do.
And if that is the same job that has to be done irrespective of fitting just a bearing or the whole shebang, ill have to just get the clutch done.

Thanks very much for your help, you have been fantastic, boards is brilliant, and i always get great advice.

Thanks again
