Can't hear it very well on my phone, but it definitely looks like you're riding the clutch. If you're in gear, why are you putting your foot on the clutch as you accelerate? Why not just accelerate?

So, do I understand that you have had the clutch replaced ..... ??

What did they replace .. clutch disk? .. pressure plate .. ? flywheel .. ? release (throw out) bearing ..?

And there was no change to the "buzzing sound" before and after the clutch was replaced .. ?

Do you have any exhaust mods.. ? If so, what .. ?

@Ultramaroon will take it from here ...... :thumbsup:

Quoting from Tcoat.

"If this forum cant help you, the toyota cant help you either."

I cant hear your buzz sound due to your exhaust sound.

Yessir.

That's an old clip from @7thgear's October 2012 thread here. Troll post?

Yup, it's a common issue alot of people had when I first came onto the forums. It's the throwout bearing, usually greasing the clutch forks would help, if the sound still continued it would require a new throw-out bearing

Maybe he (the OP) was just "referencing" that vid as an example ....... :iono:


What you say OP ... ??

This is different. There's something resonating at a specific frequency. I think it actually was the CDV honking. No?

Yeah, I posed it as a question because I also wanted to keep the door open.

OK, @bemgikim ....... you're up ....... ??

talk about blast from the past

for the record, mine went away after a 5-6 thousand kilometers

maybe something was just breaking in... i never had to touch or grease anything

Great to hear from you. Still own it?

for a few more weeks, trading in for a Toyota iM :o

Aww... *sad panda*

Good luck with the iM. I'm sure it'll be great. :cheers:

it's certainly a rare car, in the last 3 weeks since i became aware of it, i've only seen it on the street ONCE

the 2016 scion version only sold like 5000 canada wide i think

it's taking a while to catch on
