Just curious if anyone knows or experience a loud gurgling noise when the clutch pedal is pressed/pushed in. Almost like a big heavy door from a haunted house creaking when slowly opened but in a deeper tone,...sorry, that's closest thing I can describe the noise.

Now keep in mind that this is NOT the normal noise when in idle/neutral that almost everyone is experiencing. Also, in everyone else's case, the noise goes away when the clutch pedal is pressed/pushed down....not mine, it's the exact opposite.

The noise occurs everytime I pushed the pedal down, from stop and when moving, and when shifting from gear to gear. Otherwise, the car drives fine but the noise is LOUD.

Anyone know what it is?

 

FYI, Just an update....the noise went away after a good 20 minutes of warming it up on idle. I went to press on the clutch pedal, although the noise was there for the first couple of presses of the clutch pedal, it eventually went away.

I'm thinking its the release/throwout bearing binding or seizing up. Chilly 50degree mornings, I'm afraid it might get worst when winter comes.

 

ive got the 110% identical issue you have.
this is on a 2006 g35 coupe with 128,000 miles on it.
ive already changed the clucth twice and i guess im about to do my 3rd one.
the worst part is the clutch seems fine its just the THROWOUT BEARING but everyone says im crazy to just change that.

anyone else have any thoughts???

thanks!!!

 

+6 month bump, , still getting that gurgling noise but clutch grip is still strong. I'm thinking it's the throwout bearing also.

It's just embarassing when easing my way through the speed bumps in my development and the noise kicks in. I rather hear more scrapin' on the speedbumps than the gurgling noise.
