Screeching Sound 1st gear from stop


Recommended Posts

Getting a screeching sound when letting the clutch out in 1st gear from stop, only after driving some time and everything is at operating temp. Any ideas? New serpentine belt last year. New clutch kit and pressure plate 2 years ago. Clutch throw out bearing???

some additional info - 2004 996 C2 with 65K kilometers. could also be idler pulley bearing???

 

To find out, warm the car up to the problem conditions, remove the serpentine belt, and try turning the suspect pulley by hand, looking for unusual feel or sounds.

Could also be the release "throw out" bearing

I have this "Screech" issue when I'm stopped on incline of a hill, 996 is warm and warm outside.  When I release clutch midway through it makes the sound from the rear.

I also heard it could be caused by the transmission fluid level being low causing sound issue with clutch
