6 speed tranny noises!

[cumminskiller]

I left a post about this the other day too. I have a strange noise coming from my tranny/clutch. Alot of the time it happens at a lower RPM in say 3rd or 4th gear is when i hear it the most, but i do hear it in other gears just not as much. It kind of sounds like a "vuhvuhvuhv" say that fast its kind of a humming. Its really getting me irratated and i want to get it fixed. My truck is going to need a new clutch as it is because it slips with the chip in. But if anyone else has had this problem let me know. its a 2000 7.3 with a 6 speed

could be a few things...could be noisy gears...a worn input shaft or pilot bearing...or a worn tranny bearing. All of these are going to be tough to diagnose over the internet....

Don't know about the noise but, I would definatly get that clutch replaced. It's a Ford joke. Make sure you replace it with a 4 or 5spring disc. Preston

yeah well I had my boss check it out today, he says its the throwout bearing, his dodge is doin the same thing, the springs on the pressure plate get real worn out so it makes noise goin down the road

The springs in the pressure plate do not cause the throwout bearing to make a noise but they will come apart and destroy the whole assembly. Maybe even take out the input collar. I wish I had a picture of the oneI did last week. It was the most destroyed clutch assy I have ever seen and it did cut the input collar into. Preston
