Noise when releasing clutch...?

<< < (3/3)

Big G:
well the gearbox is now back in and I replaced the clutch/arm/release and spigot bearings, I also reinforced the clutch arm with a piece of steel welded to the inside of the recessed part of the arm, welded a washer over the area of the pivot point and welded another full piece over the top to the full profile. That should do it.. :wink: ....the noise was coming from....the springs in the clutch friction plate, they were loose and rattling about... :wink: .....the release bearing was dry as well. Looked like the gearbox had not been out before.....the vehicle had done 80,000 miles and there was still a couple of thousand miles of wear left on the friction plate.

Thanks again to all who took the time and trouble to post with advice....  :D
