Replacing the clutch pressure plate and throw out bearing on a Chevy Metro is a relatively straightforward process. You will need a few basic tools such as a set of sockets and a ratchet a torque wrench and a clutch alignment tool. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you replace the clutch components on your Metro:
- Start by disconnecting the negative battery cable to prevent any electrical shocks.
- Disengage the transmission and remove the driveshaft. This is done by removing the bolts located on the front and rear of the transmission.
- Remove the bell housing bolts and the starter. Next lower the transmission and place it aside.
- Remove the pressure plate and the throw out bearing. This is done by removing the bolts that hold the pressure plate to the flywheel.
- Install the new throw out bearing on the transmission input shaft. Make sure to align the bearing with the splines on the shaft.
- Install the new pressure plate on the flywheel and tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. This should be done in a crisscross pattern.
- Reinstall the transmission driveshaft and starter. Make sure to torque the bell housing bolts to the correct specification.
- Once the transmission is installed reattach the negative battery cable.
Once this process is complete you will have successfully replaced the clutch pressure plate and throw out bearing on your Chevy Metro.

What happens when you press the clutch pedal?
(Assuming you have a hydrolic clutch system) When you push on the clutch pedal, you create hydrolic pressure in the master and slave cylinders, which in turn pushes on the release bearing (AKA throw-out bearing). The release bearing pushes on the fingers of the pressure plate. This takes pressure off of the clutch disc, putting the car in neutral, in a sense. Now you can change gears without damaging any of the transaxle gears. When you release the clutch, you put pressure back onto the clutch plate and pressure plate, which gives power back to the wheels if you are in 1st-5th gear, or reverse.

Why would your car make a loud whining noise that disappears when you press the clutch?
It would sound like the throw out bearing is bad.. That is usually replaced with the clutch and pressure plate. The throw out bearing applies pressure to the pressure plate and releases the clutch disc. When not applied, the bearing spins freely, and a noise would indicate a dry bearing.

The throwout bearing is bad. This bearing sits in the center of the clutch. Replacing it requires removing the transmission from the car, and it would be a VERY good time to replace both the clutch and the pressure plate while you have it apart.
