Ok, so i have this noise that comes out of my clutch when the car is at idle in other words, when the clutch is not pressed in.
It sounds like a bird chirping in my engine bay and i have researched it down to exactly what it is.
Its a squeaky clutch, to be more precise, a squeaky clutch pivot ball.
This youtube video is exactly the noise it makes, however this is not my car.
Do you guys reccomend me doing this myself, im fairly good at pulling things apart but ive never played around with clutches
Squeaky Clutch..HELP!

Does it growl on a hard launch?
If not, thrust bearing.
