1996 Suzuki sidekick sport Clutch is making rattle sound when not engaged. When engaged I here a whine sound. I believe it is my throw-out bearing in the not engaged and my clutch when engaged. I change my slave-cylinder 1 year ago. It turned out to be a broken metal clip at the end of the clutch assembly under the dash.I bled the slave-cylinder yesterday twice. Is there any adjustment nut to tighten up the tension and reduce the pedal play?

You may have a worn out clutch master cylinder. Check if there's fluid leak at the rear portion of the cylinder.

Yes, get a pro-bleeder. They are around $ 75-$90 but well worth it.

SOURCE: how to bleed slave cylinder for 1997 suzuki

Hi if the sidekick is the same as the uk vitara then they don't have a slave cylinder just a clutch cable with a nut near the end to adjust it. If its like a grand vitara they have got a slave cylinder, just crack the bleed nipple off put one end of a small pipe on the end of the nipple and drop the other end in a bottle that is roughly half full of break and clutch fluid, ask someone to pump the clutch pedal until no more air bubbles are coming out then tighten the bleed nipple back up. make sure to keep a check on brake fluid levels while doing this.

Suzuki Jimny making whining noise when in gear even when rolling with clutch not engaged?

Question edited for clarity. Took me ages to work out you meant whining, not winding. I was thinking like 'wind noise', or was it like winding a clock?

That noise is caused by failing or dry bearings. It appears to be a known issue on that model!

I have a grinding/ whining noise coming from the engine when i push in the clutch but it stopped after 5 minutes

check the throw out bearing in the clutch as it may be failing or have failed and the bearing bits are running on the pressure plate fingers.

I would be checking the throwout bearing. But, if the clutch isn't slipping, maybe leave it for now?

If you put it in 5th gear, let out the clutch with handbrake applied and it stalls--the clutch isn't slipping for sure.

Whine sound when clutch is engaged; 1st mile

Then that would be the bearing, called a "throw-out" bearing as it is what pushes the pressure plate fingers in, & throws the clutch out so that you are not moving, or are changing gears.

These are usually pre-lubricated & sealed, after mileage the oil will rest in just one part of the bearing from being hot & used when you park it, until you use it.

More so in the cold weather, but once it spins a bit & warms up, the lubrication is again available, the noise goes away. It could do this for a long time, you'll notice it is always making the noise if the lubrication has completely seeped out of the bearing and if that happens, consider repairs before it becomes a constant howl.

good luck.

What makes 1989 5 speed transmission whine in nuetral

Could be the steady bearing, but if the noise goes away when you step on the clutch it is the release bearing.

Clutch Whine on Toyota 4WD Pickup

Bad bearings. Perhaps a throw out bearing. The pressure on it varies depending on whether your pushing on the pedal or not, and how much. If the noise occured only when the truck is moving, then I would say it is the input bearing. Changed alot of those years ago.

When I engage the clutch, sometimes it makes a whining sound.

If it is a throw-out bearing it will only make noise when pressure is applied to clutch pedal, there is also a pilot bearing that will squeel with clutch in if bad. when doing a clutch replacement all these parts should be replaced.

Whining

hi these boxes tended to be a bit noisey anyway but a simple test for the release bearing and first motion shaft is easy first make sure g/box oil level is ok
start engine ,take your foot off the clutch peddle compleatly you have a whine, put your foot on the peddleVERYlightlynoise should change ,if the noise is more of a rattle than a whine it is coming from the clutch release bearing if it a definate whine it is either the spigot bearing in the flywheel or the first motion shaft
