2005 Saturn Ion 3 Clutch Problems

Greetings.

I have a 2005 Saturn Ion with bulletin problem PIP3613. Saturn told me
it is a problem that has no fix. Had the car at the dealer for over
two weeks with no resolution.

The problem is related to a whirring sound when releasing the clutch.
It started occasionally but it occurs all too frequently.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks.

Get them to try a aftermarket clutch disc as I have little doubt that
the problem is related to the clutch facing they are using.

I will have to try that; although, the dealer read me what GM told them
- or so they said. I doubt it is the throw-out bearing since the sound
occurs when the clutch is released as opposed to depressed.

Thanks for the advice.

It is not the throwout bearing.
