bromy Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Had a RPS clutch fitted last week with a new OEM thrust bearing, I was not happy with the bearing that was fitted as it was as squeaky/rattly so I took it back and they fitted another, I picked the car up yesterday and for around 20-30 miles no problem but again the squeak/rattle has returned. The noise does go away when the clutch pedal is slightly pressed so I do think it is the bearing, but what is causing the bearing to make the noise/fail? Surely I cant have had two duff bearings and I do believe the work has been carried out. Could it be a problem with any other parts i.e release fork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foodfreak Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Did you replace the bearing carrier, if it is worn the bearing does not sit straight & it can produces noise & have engagement problems john edit ....If you get the car on a ramp, remove the inspection cover on the bellhousing, with some one lightly pressing down on the cultch you 'should be able to see if the bearing is approaching the clutch fingers 'square on' Edited April 21, 2009 by foodfreak (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
