Strange Grinding/Rubbing Sound - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #65841 2 posts Started by djyohimbe
Lately I'm getting this strange sound whenever the car is warmed up. It sounds like somewhere between the wheel well plastic rubbing the tire, and the transmission grinding. I took off the wheel to see if anything was amiss, but everything appears fine. CV boot is intact, no leaks. I had my transmission fluid replaced but that did nothing (except let me shift smoother). I hear it when braking and accelerating.

Any ideas??

It seems to get quieter when I push the clutch pedal to the floor. Could it be the clutch throw bearing??
