I've got a bit of a rattling noise coming from the front when the clutch is disengaged and when i engage the clutch it goes again.

I dont have any problems with selecting a gear or anything so im hoping its nothing in that region.

Any ideas?? My mate mentioned clutch release bearing??

Cheers

clutch release bearings tend to wine, but I think your mate is probably on the money there. big labour job.

So clutch release bearing gone??

Another mate just said a dry bearing??

 

[Mark One]

sorry mate, Dry bearing means nothing to me.
You'll probably find it's the same thing.

yeah, but its still box off to change it.. and false economy to change just that will want a clutch kit

I've just had a feking new clutch around 4 months ago

Been to 2 garages today and theyre saying its not the clutch release bearing cause the noise would be when i've got the clutch pressed in if its that but they couldn't really tell me what it was 'cos the sound isnt all the time.

Any other ideas??

I had similar .. .. .. noisy clutch when the pedal was depressed .. .. .. .. today I've got clutch pedal vibration and that can only mean one thing .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ah well 110k miles on one clutch isn't bad for me.


Yours could be like mine - on it's way out

if the noise goes away when you press the pedal its the bearing, nothing too major to worry about

As above, it should last until you are due a clutch change where a new clutch kit (inc bearing) will sort it.

I had the clutch changed about 4 months ago though. The garage that did it says that you have to request to have the bearing changed as the clutch comes in 3 parts now and not as a whole unit

What car is it?? A bit crap of them just replacing the clutch.

Focus at a guess, had a mondeo which did this lasted another 10k or so before it was sold and it was fine up to that point. Was more of a whine than a rattle though, would've thought a rattle was more progessed tbh.
