sounds like a cricket!!!
I was hoping someone could give me an idea of where to start on this one, when I'm driving down the road I have a weird sound. It really sounds like a cricket, but I know its the car;
it happens at random, sometimes the entire drive, sometimes it doesn't do it at all
the sound generally comes when I'm accelerating, but it stays when I let off,
the weirdest part about it, is the sound goes away when I either engage the clutch, or just rest my foot on the clutch pedal. The clutch doesn't have to be engaged for the sound to go away as long as I lightly put my foot on it.
So I think it's something loose... what, I have no idea, but it's gotta be something to do with the clutch/pedal, any ideas?
** I just searched for my problem after I posted, and would like to add that I haven't been able to check my timing since buying the car in march, would that have something to do with it?

Here's the thing, I also forgot to add (found this out reading more on it) I just replaced the throwout and pilot bearings in march when I replaced the clutch... Could the throwout bearing have gone bad that quick?
Or would that leave it to be a bent fork?
