horrible noise at stop

Yapakanichi · 06-26-2020, 11:30 AM

So I have a horrible noise when the car is stopped and the clutch is not pressed. It sounds like the whole car is about to fall apart. No engine codes related to this either.

I'm going to be taking the car to a HPDE this weekend. After that, I'm going to start looking at dropping the transmission and replacing the clutch. I'm wanting to go with a lightweight flywheel and some kind of better clutch. Thinking about replacing the input shaft bearing while I have it all torn apart as well.

I'm leaning toward the input shaft bearing, but I want to get confirmation.

Z4 3.0i 2005 6 speed

Unless they let you self-tech prior to the event, I can't imagine any club/group signing off on your car running the track if it's making that disturbing of a sound... Either way, I wouldn't risk it.

Get an ODBII reader, might be an ignition coil

Mileage? where is the noise coming from? when does the noise occur and when does it stop occurring? any additional symptoms? vibrations?

Successfully made it through the weekend. The sound completely stops when I press the clutch in. I'm going to get a new clutch and flywheel and replace the input shaft bearing while the transmission is out.
