Daston Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hey guys Sat in traffic last night and my clutch started to make a clattering noise as if the 2 plates were slightly rubbing. However as soon as I put the clutch in the noise went away. Car still pulls hard and can handle hard gear changes. Am I right in thinking it could be the release bearing?

Scott Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Sounds like the release bearing. You should get it looked at as soon as possible. I was told that if it goes completely it can fook up expensive stuff. Unsure whether he meant gearbox or not but i wouldn't take any chances.

Daston Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Thought as much Good thing it uses the Ford T5 gear box, standard release bearing is £15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multics Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 If it's noisy when you're pressing the clutch pedal then it's probably the release bearing. If it's noisy when you're not pressing anything, in neutral, it might be coming from the gearbox (ie: input shaft bearing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 ahh well its noise when in neutral but the noise then goes when I press the clutch pedal With mine it was noisy in neutral and when i pressed the clutch pedal. When in gear and driving the noise disappears so its possible that it might not be the release bearing in your case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just took her out of the garage, it seems to get much louder and more "clunky" when the clutch pedal is just off the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like something different. With my car it was just a very high pitched screech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
