Clutch noise on Williams

[king.stromba]

I get a very slight noise when i depress the clutch. I can only hear it with the window open. Cross between a rustle and a whine. Very slight. Only at maximum depress too. And again on the way up. Any ideas? Thought it might be the cable rubbing somewhere.

I wouldnt bet on cable, but if u hear the sound while engine off , it can be... possible clutch plate, or problem with clutch mechanism... standard one comes with all the necessary bits and is good enough... done 30k with 186hp/220 Nm without problems on standard plate...

maybe poss clutch release bearing is noisy.

Thrust Bearing?!?!?

99% release bearing. All get noisy over time.

No need to be sorry, I learnt something and so will Stromba when he checks the thread!

Release bearing, that was the word i was looking for...

It doesnt make a noise when the engine is hot.
