Throw out Bearing/Clutch Slippage
How do you know if any of these are beginning to go out? I recently got out of the car after driving for a few mins and turned it off as usual. When I started it again, I noticed a loud rattle, louder than the
A/C rattle that would also switch on at about the same time. I pressed in the clutch and I haven’t heard it again.
On that same drive, I noticed that getting off a stop light, the car would hesitate for a second and then start moving. I have a feeling it could be the throw out bearing since I heard that many people have had issues with it going out, but I’ve also learned on this clutch as it is my first manual, so it could be the clutch as well. I’m soon to swap out my transmission fluid since it’s a M/T.
But if that’s going out, should I replace either or, or both at the same time?
Ofc car mechanic at work :)
