: : : I am experiencing a screetching type noise coming from the area of the pilot bearing. At least, that is what a local mechanic who knows Model "A"s and modern cars says. This noise is occuring spasmodically and is heard only upon breaking and slowing to a stop. I drove the "A" today and it did not do it! This is typical. The noise is not big problem! I just want to be ahead of the game on this one! : : The clutch is fine. No problems! I gave the throw out bearing a squirt of grease about 120 miles ago, careful to not give it too much and get grease on the clutch plates. : : The mechanic said to go ahead and drive the "A". It would not hurt a thing. I explained that this "A" had not been driven for quite some time. He said that this was one of the reasons I was hearing it. The mechanic said to just drive it around town for awhile and see what happens. Both responses have merit. I would put my money on what Marith has to say..She knows Model A drivetrains.. |
