Hi All,

Looking for any insight on a new noise/vibration I'm feeling from my '82 245. The vehicle runs the same as before I noticed this noise/vibration. It's hard to troubleshoot since my muffler also recently rusted off, making it hard to hear anything. However, I can say that it is continuous vibration and does not go away or appear when clutch is engaged or in neutral, so I believe that eliminates the M46 and throw-out bearing. It does feel like a vibration more than just a noise. The noise is not a whine and not like metal on metal. It really seems to be more out of balance creating additional resonance somewhere.

I'm wondering what could go out of balance in the engine or clutch area. Is the pressure-plate always rotating at engine RPM like the flywheel? My hope is that the pressure plate might have become unbalanced from a cracked 'finger' or maybe some friction material broke loose on the clutch? It is not any harder to get into gears but I know the clutch is over-due to be replaced.

I'd like to get a new muffler very soon, but if I'll be pulling the clutch out, maybe it is better to wait so I can more easily remove the exhaust piping for access to the transmission, etc?

any thoughts appreciated.
