Greetings,
I have a problem with my 99 Pontiac Sunfire 2.4L Manual Trans. and I hope someone can take the time to read this and help out! I am new here by the way.
It started when the clutch pedal got to the grabbing point, a grinding noise was coming from to left front end, the car won’t move an inch! I put in in 2nd gear, 3rd… it won’t move and the grinding continues. I noticed when I press on the clutch all the way down the grinding noise goes away. When I let it off as if I were to move with 1st gear engaged, the grinding comes back on and, again, the car won’t move. I first thought it was one of the clutch components that was shot so I decided to pull the transmission and I did not see anything wrong with the clutch assembly. I decided, however, to replace the clutch as I was not sure if the Release Bearing/Slave Cylinder assembly failed. I also put on a new flywheel. So new LuK Kit installed, bled the clutch and put everything back together, still same issue. Is it the Transmission? Well, I went to the junkYard and picked up one, they told me it’s in working condition. I installed it, same problem. Is it faulty? What am I missing here? I would also like to add that you can shift to 1st gear, without pressing on the clutch, it grinds a little bit, and I just wanted to try that for further diagnosis and may be an important piece of information that you may need to know.I look forward to any response on this issue, Thank you very much!

[quote=”Raistian77″ post=82407]Glad you got it figured out, my brain kept coming back to trans, but after realizing you had already replaced it I kept thinking “2 manuals with the same exact problem?” No way. Well, like they say you learn something new every day.[/quote]
I did learn from the problem that I had and I learned from you guys as well, thanks a lot!!
