Krzys Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I think that could be the release bearing, clutch kit if that is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brown Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 i had a similar noise quite a while ago got a new clutch kit fitted and they found it was not the clutch but a bearing in the gearbox, may not be the same but possible.. The good news is i have since done over 30,000 miles with the box making that horrible noise and i can report that to this day nothing has happened and she has just kept going awaiting me to replace the box... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Clutch up noise is likely from the box as release bearing kinda floats in limbo until you press the pedal. I'm now on my 5th or so gearbox. It's started whining but I'm not rushing out to replace it. Wish I'd kept my original with noisy input shaft bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yeah maybe. But point I was trying to get across. If it's minor leave well alone until it becomes an issue imo. I rushed to replace box with slightly noisy bearing and no other issues. Ended up with more knackers boxes than I started with.If I'd kept original box chances are it would be just the same now and still going strong.So now I'm leaving well alone until it becomes an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
