OK I don't want to hijack but since the discussion has turned to transmissions ... could a bad throw out bearing cause a stiff, squeaky clutch pedal and a loud rattle when the clutch is released in neutral?



The one time I had a throw out bearing it would make a whirring sound when I'd let the clutch out and it was in nuetral. So yes, that sounds like a throw out bearing going bad. Don't know about the squeaky clutch though.
