My 2006 Lexus IS250 MT started making noise recently when it goes into high RPMs. Had a friend look at it and he sent me the video attached and took it to a mechanic who said that it would require a new transmission. Is this true? One of my other friends said that the retainer bearing went out and that it shouldn't require a new transmission.

If you keep driving the car like that you might need a new transmission. Your release bearing is shot and rattling around.

While you are replacing that, replace the clutch and pressure plate.Originally Posted by LeX2K
