DIESEL

Hey again guys.

So the car is working great since my last post everything seems to be back to normal since it was fixed. One thing i have been thinking about for quite a while even before my recent problem is this sound it makes. I can't describe the sound but basically it is this kind of nagging sound only when I idle and when i press the clutch down it disappears. I lift it up and it comes back. Drives me nuts since i pay so much attention to the car now.

Is this maybe like a normal thing with rotaries or what? mazda didn't seem to catch it.

Alright so theories guys.

Thanks

Searching shows...........

It's a throwout bearing noise we all have it(as far as i know) no prob however if it really bothers you BHR is making or made a throughout bearing to take care of the noise supposedly....PM Charles for more info!

Yup normal and in 76K miles of driving, I haven't had a problem yet with the throwout bearing even though it sounds lousy.

It is a good idea to search before posting on a potential problem. There are many who have been through them before you, although sometimes it can be hard to frame the search .

Enjoy that 8!

not correct,

when the clutch is out the throw out bearing is not being used.

Swoope is correct.
You are hearing the idle gear (or gear rollover).
