Within the last few days I started getting a whine from the car whenever I push the clutch in but it goes away as soon as the clutch is fully engaged or fully disenaged. It even happens if I ride the clutch without fully disengaging it (no, I do not ride my clutch normally). Everything is pointing to the throw out bearing. mad.gif CRAP! I just got the car all back together and now this. The sad thing is that this is a fairly new throwout bearing that came with my SPEC stage 2 clutch. If I had to guess, there is less than 2000 miles on this throwout bearing. Is the throwout bearing going bad or is it just going to make that noise because it is not an OEM part?

Is this a swapped 3s on the stock s54 transmission?
What kind of problems do you normally see with the turbo motor on an S transmission instead of the E transmission? -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.

What kind of problems do you normally see with the turbo motor on an S transmission instead of the E transmission? Sorry for the late response. Yes this is a 4th gen 3sgte on a s54 tranny. I have not had any problems with the tranny on this engine. To be safe, I am running lightweight shockproof for the gear oil and I swapped from an open diff to a MR2 LSD out of the E153. I also am running a stage 2 spec clutch and a lightweight flywheel. I have heard that the weakness in this set up is the axles, not the tranny. I was told these axles tend to break over 300 hp (but I am not at 300 hp so I am good). From the research I have done, the big difference between the s54 and the e153 are the gear ratios. The s54 tends to rev higher than the e153 in the same gears when doing a comparison. This is good for turbo spool but you tend to have to shift sooner in the s54 than the e153. This is speculation but I am guessing that an e153 would have a better zero to 60 mph time than a s54 with all other things being equal because the s54 car would have to shift to 3rd gear while the e153 could stay in 2nd (2 gear shifts vs 1).
