![]() The cricket sound still continued for a few minutes after everything was off and disconnected. A day later I turned off the engine and disconnected the battery which eliminated anything engine or belt related as well as anything electrical. I thought it must be the A/C-Heater blower bearing going bad so I removed the blower, lubricated the bearings and found out that wasn’t the problem. The noise was coming from under the dash on the passenger side. Ok here’s what was causing the cricket noise in my 2008 Silverado. ![]() And in your opinion, do I finally have the cricket noise nailed down correctly? Question: Is what the mechanic said true? Is this really an all out $1K job? or is it a simple clutch adjustment? How would I go about asking a mechanic for a clutch adjustment to make the noise go away. My take: a bit of a clutch adjustment is what I want. He said that it’s not critical and that I can drive with the noise. He said no, “we don’t do that anymore” and he wants to replace the whole clutch assembly/rod/bearing for just under a Thousand dollars. I went to a mechanic and asked him to adjust the clutch for me after he heard the noise. A tad bit of weight on the clutch and it goes away… I think it’s caused by the clutch arm resting where it shouldn’t. When I rest my foot on the clutch during normal driving, the cricket noise goes away, just like in an old Beetle. This is the same noise that all the old VW Beetles had in the 60’s and 70’s … It has to do with the clutch. I got it down to what it is, only now I want to know how dangerous this condition is. (Accord '99) I’m still driving with the crickets in my car. I pulled out my old thread on cricket noises from the archives here.
