Hey guys I don't really know whats wrong with my car but I'm assuming it's my clutch but it might be my transmission too. There's a grinding noise in my transmission and my clutch pedal shakes and when I step on it it grinds even more, I was going to buy a new clutch but I was wondering what if it's not just the clutch so I decided to come in here and ask for some advices or whatever, so i wont spend money on buying the clutch if its not just the clutch and might be the transmission because right now it's just sitting outside and I really need my car. So what can it be?

Clutch throwout bearing?
From what it sounds like that would be a good place to start. Depending on the age or quality of the clutch you might just want to do the whole thing.

hey thanks for the suggestion bindertch

sounds like the throwoutbearing. But if I were you I would get a complete clutch kit that includes everything and get the flywheel resurfaced.

Get an OEM TO bearing if you're going to replace it.

How is it when the engine is off?
Does it still have problems?
Grind?

Do you hear any noise when the engine is running and the clutch is engaged w/the trans in N?

well when the engine is off i tried stepping on the clutch and its ok no grinding or
anything it seems ok but when the engine is on the grinding starts and so does
when i step on the clutch but yea i just bought a brand new street ACT clutch kit
hopefully that'll do the trick but im not so shure yet...but i'll let you guys know when
the clutch kit is in...
