:upthumbsWhen I bought my 84, the previous owner indicated that it had had a new clutch a few years and about 5k miles ago. I have a unique sort of squeeking noise that is like the sound from the brakes when the wear indicator toucheds the rotor.
It does this when I am in gear and goes totally away when I push in the clutch. It also seems to go away while excelerating and is worst when driving slow in 1st or 2nd gear.
When I was changing the engine oil I noticed that the inspection cover on the trans was loose and missing a bolt and that the bracket that holds the oil cooler lines was not attached and was actually touching the exhaust pipe -I thought that this may have been the noise, but after getting everything tight, it still makes the noise.
Is this a bad throw out bearing or something else that is loose?

Thanks, Glen

By the way, as I have mentioned this is my first Corvette and I still can't get over how "we" all wave at each other on the road! :w
