|
|
I noticed an odd noise from the bus transmission this morning. It sounds like a bearing going bad. I can hear it when the bus is idling in neutral (it's a manual) but if I push the clutch in (without touching the shifter) the noise goes away. Any thoughts/guesses. _________________ 1969 Beetle

Sounds like the throwout beaaring?
I really didn't want to type that.
I say ignore it and maybe it will just go away..... _________________ '69 Bug, 1776, dual kadrons, Web 111 cam
