Miata weird noise

My 1990 Mazda Miata makes a weird noise when the car is at idle. The sound goes away once the clutch pedal is pushed in. Don't know what it is, im thinking of just replacing the clutch as a precautionary move.

This still kind of happens, but its not a big deal. It went away when i replaced my clutch, slave cylinder, and all of the bearings but slowly came back after a while. I asked a mechanic and he said its not a big deal.

clutch throw out bearing.

That is your "clutch thrust bearing", it's part of the mechanism that engages the clutch. Fairly easy to fix and you don't need a new clutch.

You have probably fixed it by now anyway!

mine does the same thing.. Im pretty sure it just needs that grease on the end of the slave cylinder

All you need is some grease on the end of the slave cylinder, know it doesn't sound like that but nearly always is.

grease is all you need my miata did that too

throw out bearing!

[funboyrx7]

throwout bearing or transmission input shaft bearing

[cr8zytreeclimber]

I cant really hear anything but if the sound goes away when you de press the pedal its probally the throw out bearing

[UltimateTuner10]

you may have a bad bearing (i forget which one but one of the clutch ones) or it may just be the input shaft doing its thing...my mazdaspeed miata does it and i hear its normal
