95 Nissan Altima clutch/transmission noise.?

Question

Hi,

I have a 95 Nissan Altima with a 5 speed manual trans. The car has 165K miles on it. About a year ago I started hearing a strange grinding / deep clicking noise coming from the transmission. It only does it when the clutch is out. The only way I can get it to stop is if I push the clutch in.

I just replaced the pressure plate, clutch and throw out bearing hoping that would solve the problem, but it did not change a thing. It still make the same grinding / deep clicking noise.

It has gotten considerably louder over the last year and I think something is about to give.

any advice you can give would be great.

Answer 1

Sound llike you might need to service and drain the transmision gear oil and then check for metalic debre in the oil.  If there is  a large amount of metal in the oil then it probably has  some gears eating themself or a worn bearing in the transmission
