It needs a complete overhaul to be trail worthy again.And it would cost just as much to do that as it would to just get a newer bike that I would be happier with... I don't know abut that, a complete overhaul shouldn't cost more than $300 (a tune up of the bike, bearings cleaned re-greased, new brake pads, new chain, new tires and new tube), unless the chain got stretched to much and/or you need new rims. My hybrid will be overhauled this spring and it should be under $150 and that includes a new chain as the current one is stretched almost to its limit. If you just ride around town and on paved surfaces I would suggest a road bike.
Re: Clutch-related noise [flyos]

You can have a worn throw out bearing or pilot bearing with the clutch slipping actually. Cost? It would be the cost of a "clutch kit" (disk, pressure plate, TO bearing, pilot bearing) + about 4.5 hours labor. If the flywheel is burned, scored and needs refinishing, add .2 and to replace the pilot bushing, add .2 So total cost kind of depends on your geography and how good a deal you get on parts.

Could be a bad throw-out bearing in the clutch, or a worn clutch pilot bearing (a brass collar or bearing that fits into the flywheel) if, in fact, it isn't a belt noise or an idler pulley bearing in the engine's belt system.
Re: 2000 9-3 Saab Turbo fails [xela200093]
by cobrazera on Tue Dec 22 08:12:02 PST 2009
Hi out there. I'm new to the Saab boards, but are seriously considering a used 9-3 Sportcombi 2.0 - 2007 or newer with less than 30K miles. What seems rather attractive is the 4 year/50K warranty. I previously owned a turbocharged car ( years ago, not a Saab ) in which the turbo itself had very limited life. The old turbocharger bearings were not water cooled, and the turbo I had was known to have a life span of 30K miles or so. I assume the Saab turbo bearings are now water cooled, but does Saab recommend using a full synthetic oil, also? High temps associated with turbos can coke regular oil. So...anyone out there with high mile, late model Saab 9-3s - and what's the secret, if any, to long engine life?
Help! 06 Mustang makes funny noises.
by jace93 on Mon Dec 21 20:53:20 PST 2009
I need help with possible solutions to my mustang problem. I have an 06 mustang gt 5 speed with 55,000 onit. I have long tube headers and h pipe and drag radials. Everthing else stock. The car has been this way since 07. Within the past 5 months a rattling noise has developed. It happens in turns left or right and also if I start driving or if I am driving and let of the gas. A small but obnoxious rattle which sounds like its coming from up front. In the turns the car bogs a little and then when you straight it is fine. I have had clutch, pp and to bearing checked. This noise I cannot recreate at idle when I rev the motor. Some people say its the rearend and the noise is traveling up to the front. I have checked all my exhaust clearances and all is well. Does anyone out there know what this could be? I have also had my car at ford and they dont know. HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPP!!!!!!!!!!

Turbochargers put con rod under tremendous stress from the reciprocating load represented by the piston, while load is increased to the 3rd power with increased speed. Failure of a connecting rod, usually called "throwing a rod" is one of the most common causes of catastrophic and expensive engine failure in cars. When building a high performance engine, great attention should be paid to the con rods, since the rod could to fail under stress. Subaru did not provide an engine appropriate to function with high performance turbocharger. They simply attached turbocharger to a stock "boxer" engine. Irresponsible and cheap approach Correction: Did a little research and found that the Forester XT actually does use the upgraded connnecting rods from the STi. Part number is 12100AA180 for both. What failed was the con rod bearings, not the upgraded con rods. They didn't throw a rod. Note also that the turbo engines were affected but the normally aspirated Foresters were not, because they use a different Rod Assembly. That is why no normally aspirated models were affected by this issue. Just setting the record straight.
