premacy clutch problem scraping sound
i have a 03 plate mazda premacy 2.0 sport
it has the 5 speed manual and when it is sitting still started you hear a sort of scraping noise coming from the clutch area but when i press the clutch it goes away completely also though when i change gear it changes smoothly but sounds notchy the clutch and gears feel fine it is not riding on the clutch atall but i know the noise is there and that it may cause me to break down basicly i think it is the clutch release bearing but i am not sure i would greatly apresiate some help as i dont know what to do i am scared to change the clutch incase thats not the problem but its like a quiet scraping noise and when the clutch it pressed it goes away and also when driving i dont notice it but it may still be there also does anyone know how to program the key fob for these cars? i know this car dosent belong here but the premacy forum looks like nobody goes there |

Re: premacy clutch problem scraping sound
The only way to be a hundred percent is to take it into a shop. That said I'd say 90% if you are stationary and you hear a noise and then you clutch in and it goes away, you need to pull the tranny. Thats likely what I would tell one of my customers.

Re: premacy clutch problem scraping sound
sounds like your clutch release bearing is going... bitch to replace in most FWD cars.. as you have to drop the tranny.. and if your car has any miles on it (more than 100k miles) I recommend spending the extra coin for a factory replacement/OEM clutch.. it's well worth the effort to do both at once, rather than be back in there in a few months.. good luck.

Oh definately, I wouldnt go through all that work and not change the clutch and maybe even flywheel unless I had velcro on everything!
