It's only when the clutch is pushed in so I guessed it was the bearings. Here's the thing, I got the part, spent a few hours friday night and most of saturday taking everything apart but couldn't get the tranny to drop like I needed it to so I decided to take it somewhere. I called one place and they will replace the bearings, and plates for $500 parts and labor so I figured I'd go ahead and do that. Today I finally got everything back in, cranked it to move it over in the driveway, and the damn thing isn't making the noise anymore when I push in the clutch! Drove it down the road and back, nothing! So should I just leave it until it does it again, or just spend the money and get it fixed?
