My manual chevrolet cavalier squeals when i start off sometimes. I think it's the clutch. is this bad?

Question:
It doesn't do it all the time, but it does it somewhat often. It had a star 3 clutch installed 2 years ago, even though the other clutch was not bad. I was told it is because the metal in the clutch is so hard.

Answers:

My exhaust seems to be making an awful noise...advice?

It sounds like it might be the throw-out bearing. You could just tighten it and if it continues replace the bearing. Or wait til it blows like mine did. No worries!

hey, do you know where i can get a trailblazer RH side Head Light Housing? Thanks, Brad?


Take Care.

Whats wrong with the transmission on my 2001 dodge stratus?

If your clutch was not bad what in hell did you replace it for...Someone is blowing smoke up your azz. The metal was too hard??????????... However, the noise you are hearing is probably the throw-out bearing. Does it change pitch when you apply the clutch?? Does it start when you touch the clutch pedal?? If yes it most likely is the bearing..It usually will be quiet when you take your foot off the pedal..Not good but it doesn't require a clutch. Although the sad thing is that it requires the same amount of labor to replace..The only difference is six more bolts...If it is the throw-out bearing let it go until you can't stand it. Shouldn't cause any trouble...

Hyundai Accent - Squealing from Cam belt??

throw-out bearing is the problem.

Price info on Alldata?

Considering the squeal your describe it could be the Throw-Out Bearing, which activates the clutch pressure head.
