My 6mt does it. My old Prelude used to do it. I think I remember something about the clutch throwout bearings making the noise, and it being normal. But who knows? Let's worry about our cars until we can't even drive them.

 

Guys I went over to Fattah's house today he lives a mile from my house...his noise while idling is louder and more annoying than mine...he's at 5-6k miles though and mine is ONLY at 2,700 miles!!!

BTW, fattah, I called Josh @ Infiniti and man they are kinda bein' wishy washy about it...He was all like, "Well the engineer will come in and inspect adam's car and run some tests and verify as to whether the tranny noise is "normal behaviour"...I was like "the motor/tranny gettin progressively louder while idling and quieting when clutching in? how is that Normal - especially since the AT's prob dont do it.

So basically Josh told me to just wait on the word from him or you as to whether it's an issue. You know they're gonna be biased though and try to brush it off I bet.

I urge everyone with this issue to visit and initiate something with your Infiniti dealership!

 

ive been noticing for the last 2 weeks the car isnt quite at idle. but w/ clutch in, the whirring sound goes away....ive only got 1500 on the car! what did u have to tell them to replace ur trans?

 

i doubt they need to replace the entire tranny for that.... i heard its a normal thing

 

im startin to think its normal....S H I T T Y thing is that fattah's was pretty loud and if that's how loud everyone's is gonna get I hope it at least stops there I mean hwo do we know if with 20-30-40k miles and so on that it would get to be loud as a damn diesel truck!?

 

Damn... All these issues are kinda scary. Thought Infiniti would have perfected this one.

 

detroit malu joe: about the noise that goes away when idling when we clutch in our g37 6mts
sTr4itOuTTaJer Z: lol
sTr4itOuTTaJer Z: its normal
sTr4itOuTTaJer Z: its the dual mass flywheel that resonates that sound
sTr4itOuTTaJer Z: my car has had the noise since day 1
sTr4itOuTTaJer Z: i now have 24,000 miles (G35 coupe)
sTr4itOuTTaJer Z: and not a single tranny problem
sTr4itOuTTaJer Z: nor clutch problem
sTr4itOuTTaJer Z: its jus the nature of the beast bro

 

Damn, I *JUST* noticed this sound this past weekend when I pulled into the garage. It didnt sound right, and its definitely never happened before this weekend. I have around 5800 miles on it,and Ill be taking it to the dealers to see whats up.

What did the dealers diagnose it as, before they replaced your whole transmission?

It sux cause I was getting my exhaust installed next weekend, now I have to wait on that, cause I dont want no warranty void talk...

 

i have same noise i think as soon i release the clutch i can hear it over my engine and when i push the clunth everything is quiet but its really annoying when you sit in the car with no music and windows dows cuz like i said i can hear it over the engine noise so im guessing im gonna be taking mine for inspection to a dealer and im only at 5K now

 

just get an aftermarket exhaust... it should solve your problem haha

 

ive been waiting for it forever now lol

 

i was supposed to get my FI exhaust and HFCs installed next friday....hopefully I can get an appt with the dealers tomorrow, and have my car back by then....

 

I have the same noisy clutch problem 'obviously' but its not outragiously loud so it doesn't bother me. But I have been meaning to make this issue into a thread but havent yet: my clutch grinds when shifting into 6th. If I shift very slowly it doesn't do it. But if I shift at a normal speed it grinds very loud for a bout a split second. You can feel and hear it grind very hard. I took it to the dealership and it stayed there for almost two weeks. I was expecting them to adjust the clutch or something but they gave it back to me and said I wasnt pressing the cutch down enough. BS!!! I put all my weight on the friggin clutch and it still grinds. I think now it is a gear instead of the clutch. And it feels like my clutch has gotten very worn since I got it so I dunno what to do. ORR INFINITI IS USELESS!!!!

 

well.. i drop off my car tomorrow morning at infiniti.. we'll see the what the "engineer has to say"
