What is this noise?
Can anyone help, i have a 2001 bugeye wrx, unmodified
I get a frequent "flap" or "click" noise when I let up the clutch pedal and it hits the top of its range of motion. Also if i accelerate in first then have to lift off, as the car lurches forwards i get the same noise.
I have also noticed if braking while turning slowly there is a similar noise which i think could be a failing wheel bearing. Could the first noise be the same thing, maybe as the drivehsafts start moving causing a noise from worn wheel bearings.
My only other thoughts is that it could be the clutch release bearing, but the clutch was changed 5000 miles ago and didn't make that noise at first.
