I am trying to understand how serious/expensive the problem
might be:
Few months ago, the car started to make weird noise when
I use clutch. At higher engine RPM (around 3,000), when I depress
the clutch, at the very end of it - with, perhaps, a *very* short delay -
a load sound can be heard. It's hard to describe, clacking/tinkling
maybe - as if two metallic parts slam into each other with some
friction involved.
The sound can be heard *before* the use of the shifter. When
the RPM is low, however, depressing the clutch does not make
this noise. Apart from the noise, shifting/driving is completely
normal.
The car is Subaru Impreza 1993 with 91,000 miles on it and a
clutch replaced by a dealer at 65Kmi. Other than the clutch and
the totally rusted fender, the car has been problem-free. I am
thinking about keeping it for few more years - but not if the
repairs run more than the car is worth (probably not much more
than $1,000?).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.
