James,

I believe that the noise is from the input shaft bearing on the tranny.
The tranny must be removed to replace the bearing. It is possible to
replace the bearing without tearing down the transmission if you have no
other problems.

Sorry about this stupid question, but I've only owned my Tiger for a few
weeks and I'm clueless as to what is normal. There is an audible noise
when the car is in neutral and my foot isn't on the clutch. It isn't a
chirp or squeal, but it is audible. The sound stops when I step on the
clutch. Is this normal, or is some evil bearing in the transmission
demanding attention?

Thanks,

Guys,

The noise is emanating from the front bearing in the transmission. The
throwout bearing would make noise when the clutch pedal is depressed.
James stated that the noise would stop when the pedal was depressed.
That would indicate as the input shaft stops turning the noise would
stop, which means the bearing on the input shaft is defective.

Thanks for the info. Now, is it a serious problem? Do I just wait until
it dies or does it need to be fixed soon? How difficult/expensive a repair
is it? Where would I take it for service? Thanks.

Jim,

If it is the bearing on the input shaft, don't worry. The bearing is
easy to obtain, and not expensive. What other bearings and seals are
also close to replacement is another matter. Not to worry, they are not
expensive either. The entire bearing/seal/gasket/etc. kit is only about
$150-$200 bucks.

Now, removing the transmission and putting them in, is another matter
entirely.
