The grinding noise can be an indication of a bad gear in the transmission. The grinding noise can also indicate a problem with the clutch.
It depends on where the grinding noise is coming from. Most of the time the grinding is coming from the brakes and the brake pads need to be replaced. If they've been grinding for a while, the rotors will need to be resurfaced or replaced. Other possibilities for grinding are worn axle bearings, or a problem with the clutch. If the clutch goes out, there will be a grinding noise when you try to shift gears.
I'm not a mechanic / technician but I believe that would be a throwout / release bearing problem on your clutch
Engine RPM increases but not the speedometer.Difficulty engaging 1st gear at a stop. Clutch grabs to low or to high.
A 1999 Hyundai Accent does not have a clutch adjustment. The clutch pedal however, can be adjusted to a different height.
Internal trans problem.
I have been told by Hyundai services that it would cost me $950 to replace the clutch of my 2000 Hyundai accent. I think this is a reasonable price.
If your car is making a grinding sound when changing gear the problem depends on whether or not your car has an automatic transmission. If your car has a manual transmission: 1. You may not be pressing the clutch down far enough when you change gears or there may be a problem with the clutch linkage. 2. The springs in the transmission separating the clutch plates may be weakening. 3. There may be another problem in the shifting mechanism. If it does not go away if you press a little harder on the clutch, have a mechanic look at it. If your car has an automatic transmission take it to the shop immediately and hope it does not break down on the way.
Any clutch that is 'pushed in' is basically disengaged. When you push in the pedal, the two plates that compose the clutch assembly are separated from each other. If you have grinding when these parts are pressed together but hear nothing when they are apart, the problem should seem obvious. The plates are no longer working as they should and probably need replacement. One other possibility is that the clutch is operating normally and some other part of the drivetrain is damaged. The effect of this would be similar and would only be present when the clutch is engaged. In any case, an inspection is necessary to further diagnose the problem.
you need to bleed your clutch fluid
Fork
This is a manual transmission car, I presume. If it's an auto, you have a big problem! Grinding could mean that something inside the transmission is failing. Or it could mean that your transmission fluid is low. OR, it could mean that your clutch is worn or is out of adjustment. Grinding usually means that the clutch is not disengaging properly when you push the clutch pedal, or perhaps, a synchronizer has failed. Whatever the case, If I were you, I'd get the car to my mechanic and have her looked at.
