Today I noticed (95 ti) when pressing the clutch even slightly I hear a scraping metallic sound. Almost like backing plates of brake pads against a rotor. Shifts OK. Doesn't feel like it's slipping. The noise needs to get looked at. Wondering how expensive of a noise it will be. I'm going to call a shop on Monday, __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 09-13-2015, 05:05 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 | Maybe the throw out bearing is getting worn? If that's the case, you should just do the whole clutch assembly. A little pricey, yes... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

It also needs rear suspension bushings and the exhaust needs to be fixed. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
