Hello, its been a awhile since I been on this site. Of lately, I had a problem with my sxt 2004 neon, I have changed out the manual tranny about 2 times and its still makes a grinding noise while idling, but when I push in the clutch it stops. I have changed everything on the clutch with new parts. still trying to figure out what it is. Anyone out there been through the same problem?

 

From your description of what it sounds like, when it does it, sounds like the kind of noise a throw-out bearing makes
