Hey guys! I'm brand new to this forum. not sure if this forum is totally dead, but, I guess i'll ask the question anyway hahaha
So, i've owned this Sportivo for almost 2 months now, and ever since I have owned it, i've noticed the weirdest noise coming from the car. i have no idea what it could be, but i suspect it could be the transmission.
The noise only happens when i'm coasting with the clutch out. It gets louder the faster you're going, or the higher the RPM.
Example scenario:
Say, I'm accelerating at about 60kph down a road and I'm in 4th Gear. as soon as i let off the accelerator, and i don't have any pedals pushed in, this weird, metal on metal grinding/whirring/friction-y noise comes from somewhere in the car. I don't think its the brakes, because, whenever i push the pedal in, the noise is still there and hasn't changed in any way at all. So, my biggest suspicion is the transmission, specifically, the clutch or the Throwout bearing. I want to take my car to a specialist to have it checked out, but i don't want to go to some stealership without knowing whats wrong with my car first.
Has anyone else had this weird grinding/rubbing noise come out of their Sportivo? If it helps, mine is totally stock. nothing has been changed on the car in my ownership, or its entire history.
Any help or feedback would be really appreciated :)
