Clutch noise?
Hi everyone, anyone got an idea , on the 1500 of mine i just noticed today that with clutch out while idleing it kinda sounds like a faint throw out bearing growl in a pickup that quits soon as i pull the clutch? Is that a normal thing? Its def not loud but it is noticeable while setting idleing?

What you likely are experiencing is common and the technical name for it is gear rollover.

Re: Clutch noise?
That's a wet clutch. Adding anything to the motor oil that makes it more slippery could make the clutch slip.
I'm sure some more knowledgeable folks will chime in on this.
