Crickets in my clutch
Guys,
Very odd sound coming from the engine bay somewhere. I was waiting in the drive thru, put the 5-speed in neutral, and let my food completely off the clutch. And then i hear this sound that can be best described as "crickets". I barely put any pressure on the clutch and the cricket sound is gone.
Any clue?

I think its caused by the throwout bearing. I wouldn't get it done until you need a new clutch.
Its an annoying sound, but with your sound insulation project done, just roll up your windows.

if it's any consulation bobby, my toss off bearing has been cricketing for about a year now and the clutch is still strong. it's the original stock one. I used to squirt white lithium grease in the inspection hole where the fork comes out but I got tired of doing that every couple months so I just live with it. I figure when I replace the clutch that will get fixed but it's not worth tearing it down since the clutch is still real strong. it won't hurt anything.

Asian is not by physical appearance but by state of mind.
Or so what my last fortune cookie said
I'm going out to buy pesticide for my extra power now
