clutchcable makes grinding sound

[LegoHead]

sounds like the cable. Are these cheap?

 

[Fred@BTM]

when??? at idle??

 

[LegoHead]

when i push it up and down. just the cable or pedal bit. Not the clutch.

However the clutch is a bloody noisy one, but been told it is normal for a paddle clutch.

 

[Fred@BTM]

sounds more likley to be the release bearing

try running the engine, bonnet up, and pull the cable going to the clutch fork with your hand, if the noise/rattle stops when you pull it, its the release bearing

Cool. Just hope this car isnt the end of me.lol.


Any chance of doing me a heatshield like on richmcc's car?The turbo has worn a hole through on mine.

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah no prob, it would probably be better to use the nimbus sheet for that, i'd have to see the bay before we would do anything

Might have to do it without you, as I am planning on removing the turbo and manifold tomorrow, so will be perfect time to fit the heat shield. I have seen the nimbus stuff on demon tweeks.

use plenty of WD40 and leave it to soak, otherwise you'll be getting snapped studs etc!

 

[LegoHead]

ok cheers, will try and remember.

Yeah i have noticed the release bearings on 182's can be noisy, i changed the clutch cable on my brothers 182 yesterday, he said the clutch operation felt notchy when the engine was warm, a new cable sorted it out, i think the parts were about £21.
