Short rattle when depressing clutch pedal

[Patrick Bateman]

As you can see/hear in the video, there's a noticeable rattle that appears for a few seconds when first depressing the clutch pedal. This then stops while the clutch pedal is still down.

Had the original clutch replaced 2 years ago at over 100k miles. If it was a release bearing would you not expect the noise to be constant?

Anyone?

I'd be tempted to say that's the release bearing.

Does it do it if you just apply light pressure to the clutch and not put it all the way down?

I will try it and report back.

If it is the release bearing, can it function like that for a while and just get progressively more noticeable?

Check the cable isnt rattling against anything

Yes it does this. The sound also disappears after a few seconds with the pedal held in mid position.

I think it's the release bearing tbh.
