For about a week or so now I have had a "whirring" sound from my clutch / tranny...
It is loudest in first gear and fairly loud in second gear. It is related to rpms.
Then 2-3 days ago I began having the famous "cricket" sound from my T.O. Fork. I removed the slave cover and put some grease between the Fork and the ball joint and that fixed the "crickets"...but the "whirring" noise is still there. I know the springs on my fork are really loose....
Tonight I happened to be parked in my TC with the engine running while waiting for my son. I put the tranny in neutral and took my foot of the clutch pedal. As I was lifting my foot off the pedal I immediately heard a really loud "whirring" sound. Pushed the pedal in and it slowed down and stopped. Released the pedal and it was back. This sound is also rpm related as it increase in frequency as I rev'ed it up.
My only thoughts are that it's the T.O. Bearing and/or the loose springs on my Fork. Any other thoughts ? I just want to be sure that it's not a possible tranny problem ! (Fluid level is fine). Do you think the Clutch Disk and PP are OK ? Or could it be the Pilot Bearing ? HELP ! [Image: frown.gif]
Damn ! I guess this means that I will probably have to end up dropping the transmission and replacing the Bearing and Fork ! In the meantime do you think it's hurting anything to drive it ??? It drives OK except for the "whirring" noise.
Please help ASAP with your thoughts and ideas guys ! I guess I'd driven it for a month or two with no problems (must be a record) so something had to F**K up with it !!!!
