Hello everyone, This is my first post. I've spent a couple years checking the forums religously and finel was able to get one of my own. Just picked up a 14 2ss 1le on sat and absolutely love it.

I've gotten so many compliments a people stopping me to ask about it. I put 300 miles on it the first 2 days I've owned it, and unfortunately have come across my first problem. I was cruising on the highway in 6th at 60mph and started to hear a slight bearing noise and thought it was the blower motor making a chirping noise. Listened for a minute then disregarded it as I'm not that picky. A couple minutes later the noise started getting louder and louder until I could hear it over the radio. I got very concerned at this point and have slowed to 55 and now in the right lane listening. The noise then turned into a metal on metal high pitch horrible noise. I pushed the clutch in to coast to a stop on the shoulder but the second I pushed the clutch in the noise went away and now I have a humming noise when the clutch is out all the time. Thinking the throw out bearing failed anyone have any input? I have an appointment to bring it back to the dealer on Thursday and test drive with a tech. Hope it goes well. Still love my car and understand that mechanical things can fail.

Congrats on the car and that sucks! Hopefully they will be able to fix it very quickly and you can get back to enjoying your new car.

Congrats on the car. Glad to see you are realistic about the clutch even though it dos suck to get a new car and have a problem. Mine had the rattle from the exhaust when i first got it.
