To start with, thanks to everyone for all the great tips I've recieved so far, you've all been very helpful. This next issue is old one, even the previous owner put up with it.
When I engage the clutch, a strange sound is emitted. To give my best description, as soon as my foot BARELY pushes the clutch, you hear a hissing sound. When I pass that point of free play, the sound increases, but is constant from that "engaging point" to the floor. Don't think I'm crazy, but my best description of the sound reminds me of after flushing a toilet, and you hear the tank refilling. When I disengage the clutch would be when the "tank" fills, and the sound stops. This doesn't seem to affect the driveability, as it seems to work OK. I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard this before. I live in Alabama, have never seen another Series in my state, much less met anyone with any experience with one, or have a a friend's to compare to when troubles arise. So, if anyone has any insight into this matter, don't hesitate; if diriving me nuts not being able to figure out the source of this sound. Thanks in advance,
Ben
