I have a chattering noise coming from the transmission of my disco whilst in neutral, it only occurs at very low revs thoug (tickover) and when the clutch pedal is up, if i raise the revs slightly or depress the clutch the noise goes. There is a slight vibration in the clutch pedal,
Could this be the clutch fork on the way out or is it more likely to be the bearbox?

This might not be of any help, but I had the same on a 94 200 TDi... it was there for the three years I owned the car, and I must have put 100k miles on the clock in it.

Thrust bearing?
Probably not the fork - when this fails there is normally no warning then the pedal goes to the floor.

Sounds like a clutch release bearing to me.

Just had mine all done on the Disco, cover - plate - fork - bearing - and the bit the fork sits on, including fitting - £225, flippin' good deal I thought.

The noise is caused by the springs in the spinner plate rattling.
A way of checking if this is the problem, with the engine running in neutral without touching the clutch gently push the gear lever towards first gear enough for the syncromesh to engage and apply some resistance to the clutch, if the noise stops the load springs are shot at.
Seems this is a common problem on disco's mine is the same.
Got this trick from a gearbox rebuilder

I get a similar noise in mine too, but found out it was SWMBO, when I was on my own it stopped!!

Mine has been doing it since I got it 4 years ago.
Turn the radio up :? :? :?

Hehe can I join in too :lol:
Mine did this when I first bought it, the clutch finally gave up the ghost and a whole new clutch kit put in, still does it now :?
Will go out though and try Mark's tip, MOT end of March so see about it then :wink:

It's the release bearing by the sounds of it....

Sometimes I just sits and thinks.

:idea: :idea: :idea:
What if the noise is caused by an oscillation caused by the particular engine speed at tick over.
Will it go by turning up or down the tickover.
Anyone want to have a go?
