91 13b engine making awfull noise with clutch help
 

Hello, new to the forums. engine in my 91 rx7 13b has started makeing a very loud racket when i engage the clutch. even sitting, you can here it when it starts up. the engine is a reman from 3 years ago. the clutch replaced about 1 year ago. I dont know much about the rotary. but compared to a piston engine, it kinda sounds like a bad rod bearing. could this be the clutch? or something else? thanks in advance

Was the pilot bearing and the throwout bearing replaced with the new clutch? It's probably one of those.

dang it
 

no, my son said they didnt change one of those because they didnt have the special tool needed......

and right now, he is driving it to some young ladys rescue even though i said its not a good idea. :beatdeadhorse5: we have a guy in charlotte that works on his car often. how much do you think that will cost.....ball park?

If it is either the throwout bearing, or the pilot bearing, the trans has to come out.

So it depends on your mechanics labor rates :)
