Hey guys, It's been awhile.. Hurricane IVAN attempted to make me homeless... Now that life is starting to get back to normal, I have an issue with my MCS that has been bugging me for awhile. The problem started some time ago, and was very rare, and very subtle. It has gotten worse. When I let my clutch out, I get a tiny metallic chirp as things start to grab. The chirp seems to be based on load. If I release the clutch with MINIMUM throtle sometimes I dont even get it, if Im on an incline, or give it a little juice off the line... always get it. It's to the point now that during normal driving it's rare not to hear it. Last service I told the techs to check it out, the dorks sat in the car with the engine off and just pushed the clutch in and out..

Needless to say, they didnt find anything.

Anyone heard of this, or have any ideas what it is?

Thanks for your time and knowledge.

 

Where are you getting the car serviced at? If you are going to Jacksonville, might wanna go check out Baton Rouge, it's a bit of a shorter drive for us Pensacola folks.
