[s-cars] RE: WAS 1st gear whine now What the heck does pinion bearing sound like

[Mark Strangways]

I too have a noise, one that is not good IMHO.
Since the LWAFW and Spec clutch went in, I get a screeching sound if I use 
too many rpms when leaving a stop. It seems to only do it when cold. It 
started with the addition of the fw and clutch.

To me it sounds like the pinion bearing in the flywheel itself, as my 5000 
did that for a while before it's end.

Speculations ? Should it be fixed, or drive it till it's a problem ?

Thanks,

Mark
