A very expensive trip to a clutch specialist
Probably not, many cars have a switch on the clutch that allows you to start it while in gear.
Engine RPM increases but not the speedometer.Difficulty engaging 1st gear at a stop. Clutch grabs to low or to high.
On a 1998 Ford Mustang : With the engine OFF - put your gearshift in first gear - put your foot under the clutch pedal and gently lift the clutch pedal until the pedal stops - slowly push the clutch pedal down - you will hear a click if your clutch needed adjusting and adjusted itself
A 1997 Ford Mustang has a CABLE OPERATED CLUTCH If you want to adjust the clutch - without the engine running put your transmission in first gear - GENTLY pull the clutch pedal UP until it stops - SLOWLY push the clutch pedal DOWN ( if the clutch needed adjusting you should hear a click , that's done every 5,000 to 6,000 MILES )
the first one to hear a sound is obviously the first man on the earth!
The throwout bearing in your clutch is the likely culprit here. Your clutch may be shot in addition, but you are probably looking at a costly fix here.
You will hear a thundering sound but you'll be probably experience an earthquake first. That's the first sign to get the hell outta there!
The clutch is a cable based. There is no fluid and there is no clutch cylinder. To adjust the clutch cable slip your foot under the clutch pedal and lift up. If you hear it click it adjusted itself. If not then it did not need to be adjusted or the clutch is worn out and there is no adjustment left. ========================================================== Just adding to the answer : Without the engine running put the transmission in 1st gear After lifting up on the clutch pedal press the pedal DOWN , SLOWLY Then if you hear a click noise the clutch has adjusted itself
The ventricles
No, main bearing noise is a rumble Throw out/release bearing for the clutch will only be heard when the clutch pedal is depressed. If you hear the noise without the clutch pedal being depressed, it is most likely the gearbox first motion shaft bearing that is at fault. First motion shaft bearing noise usually goes away when the clutch pedal is pressed.
On a 1996 Ford Mustang : To adjust the clutch : - without the engine running , put your transmission in 1st gear - GENTLY , with your foot , pull the clutch pedal UP until it stops moving - SLOWLY push the clutch pedal DOWN all the way ( if you hear a click the clutch needed adjusting and has adjusted itself )
The ear closest to the sound source hears it first. IF you always hear it "first" on your right, then you should have your hearing checked.
