Noise when releasing clutch...?

(1/3) > >>

Big G:
Anybody know what this might be a symptom of?

When changing up sometimes just as the clutch pedal comes to the top of its travel I get what I can best describe as a mechanical Brrrrr sound. Just for a second it is. Is it me? have I lost the ability to drive all of a sudden or is something on the way out?

Any body come across this before.......is it clutch or gearbox...?

Your views are much appreciated.

G..... :-k

Leslie Henson:
Possibly clutch thrust bearing. Should do it even if you are in neutral and stationary though as well. With the engine ticking over, hang out of the door and press/release the clutch pedal. A dry, rushing noise coming from the engine/gearbox joint is the thrust bearing drying up. This doesn't necessarily mean that something is about to fail - some vehicles have this noise for years.

Big G:
Sometimes when I first start her up in the morning it rattles like feck till I press the clutch pedal down for the first time then its ok but you can still hear a bit of a rattle.

This might be it then eh...?

Leslie Henson:
Seems likely that the thrust bearing is the problem.

Cassillis:
A worn clutch arm will give the same symptoms i believe.
