Squeaking/bird tweeting noise from 182 gearbox/clutch maybe!



  182 Cup Racing Blue
My 182 cup has had a new gear box, new clutch kit, top gearbox mount and bottom gearbox mount. All has been fine....but now when driving my car at low speeds (between 5 and 20 mph) no matter what gear I am in......I can hear a squeaking / bird tweeting kind of noise coming from the left hand side of the car. If I put the window down in gear you can hear it. If you push the clutch pedal down the noise goes. All belts and pulleys have been done on the car around 2 and a half years ago fyi.

All parts are gen Ren parts that have been fitted. The parts were bought from a dealer so they have 12 months warrantly...but the bits were fitted at non Ren dealership.....so Ren say the parts can be replaced if they are faulty..but labour will not be paid to the garage then have to fit the parts again! trouble is....is it the gearbox or clutch that are making the noise! I could take it to Ren and they fix it......but if they find the parts are not faulty....they will charge me 90 pounds per hour!any advice would be great!

I had this noise and it turned out to be the heat shield. It had corroded at the bolts and popped off. Some new bigger washers and it was sorted!
