99 Forester-Clutch Squealing and grinding?!?


Recommended Posts

I am fairly sure it is my clutch, but thought I would ask.

 

As the title says, when I let out on the clutch, especially in 1st gear from a dead stop, it makes a squealing and grinding sound.

 

Could it be something else, or is it the clutch? If it is the clutch, simple fix, or big repair bill based on your experience.

 

180k miles.

 

Thanks to everyone for their help/advice.

It's likely the throw out bearing or pilot bearing.

 

 

There's a chance it could be something more, but I'd probably lean towards that. With the miles you have on the car, I'd suggest replacing the clutch, throw out bearing, & pilot bearing.

 

Clutch jobs can vary, but I'd expect a couple hundred dollars. Hopefully someone else can give you a little more clarity on the cost.
