That's the thing Tim told me same thing with the gears sticking could be a fuked clutch so were do I stand if a brand new clutch fuked up before the engine was even run in/mapped

but they could give me any old parts am sure they got loads lying about I wanna see the work being done infront of my own eyes now sadly And if am wrong and it is the gear box at fault I'll appolagise and pay for the labour to remove and refit box but that's only if I see the work being done myself And I'll come bak and sort everything for them And bring there rep bak am not here to slate anybody just want my car sorted fair and square with out being mugged off

Now that's getting me worried as when it gets warm it's somtyms gets hard to put in gear and it sticks more

This is what am saying people don't realise it went in fully working came back out making a noise

I'll have a look into it tomorrow so if u put the clutch down like half way and the noise goes away that would indicate its the realease bearing And for it to be the input shaft bearing the clutch would need to be all the way down? What about the issue with the gears sticking?

Noise is kinda loud..... When u put the clutch down it goes away and other times when u lift the up slowly it quites down

Tim checked it with a mechanical stethoscope and he goes the noise is coming from we're the clutch sits

Td was asking 450 to replace the input shaft bearing

Looked wiked at japfest bro and awesome on track

So td are sorting it? Number one when u paid all that money I have u expect to go pik up the car running fine that noise has been there since day one Number 2 I goes am willing to take it to someone else but I was told if I do so my warrenty is void Just by another specialist taking the box off Number 3 they never once said yh it could have been a duff release bearing all they keep saying Is its the input shaft bearing So it dont seem like its on them to do the work under warrenty as I could understand if I done some miles on it and I was ragging it and it went faulty, as soon as I piked it up from them the noise was there and at that point I've not even done 0 miles On the engine myself 4 I've taken the car to 2 starlet specialist including Tim @ tb developments who highly regarded and they both said could be a faulty clutch or Release bearing

If you guys said to me to begin with it could be a possibility that it is the release bearing i Would have left the car with u, but it seems Like u were stuck on the idea that it was the input shaft bearing and nothing else Guys you got to remember that when i gave the car to them there was no noise from the box or Clutch or anything soon as I went to pik the car there was a noise there So it's obviously means somthing went wrong when they installed the clutch or it's a duff realease bearing

As far as I know u guys might try and cover your own back once you got the car and say its the input shaft bearing, when there is a few people who had realease bearing issues with the spec Clutchs to be honest I've lost all my faith in you guys so like i said if u want to inspect the clutch and change the clutch I wanna be there

You never once said to me yh mate could be the realease iswell as you know u would have to Do the work under warrenty all u stuck by was saying its the input shaft bearing..... So that makes me think u guys are not Willing to do the work under warrenty so I am not Leaving the car there unless I am There myself now

Mike u did say to me that if I take the car else were that the warrenty would be void You also said to me that the issue with the car is the input shaft bearing 100% and that nick is always right but the symtoms are Telling me somthing else, Tim checked it and he goes release bearing or clutch kevin checked it and said the same thing, all I want is for My car to be sorted and if you want to do the work on it I wanna be there myself to inspect it

You said leave the car there for a week which obviously I don't want to do as it don't take long to do a release bearing as u said u guys are so busy and I use the car as a daily...... Like u said the only monday u can take the car in is the 28th of August so then I said I'll get the work done from some one else then u said that will void my warrenty on the engine which is abit shocking As we're only touching the gear box

I don't know mate as I know the clutch is faulty or the relase bearing so thats all thats going to be changed or inspected its not like am taking it to a cow boy its going to another starlet specialist as these guys are busy as his saying he wants me to leave my car there for a week as I can't do that as I use it daily somtyms and these guys want the car for a week..... Or he told me to bring it down on the 28 of August for a day which am not going To wait that long for .... As I wanna see the box being taken off my self and I wanna have a look at the clutch and a new release bearing being fitted so I knw they 100% changed it cuz am fed up

Am kind of stuck as mike goes if I get the work done from anybody else my warrenty on my forged engine is void don't understand :/

Already been to Tim mate yday he said its the clutch or release bearing 100%

Just listend to it bud When he looked at it did he just listen or strip it out to find the problem?

Birmingham westmidlands

I know you checked it and everything but it has still got the same problem.... Since mapping that's right you have not herd from me, that's cause you guys are not sorting nothing out, so there is no need for me to get in touch If someone local to me is willing to have a listen to my car or even take it for a little blast I dont mind .....

Right guys were do I start, as some of you know I had my glanza forged at td not long ago, the day I picked her up there was a noise coming from the engine bay as it was my first forged engine I thought it was piston slap then later on I realised when I put The cluch down the noise goes away so i thought obviously it's the realease bearing as the gears were sticking iswell so I got on the phone to mike who told me to put some miles on it which I did and he said he will take a look at it When I bring it down for mapping, I was worried as I spent all that money and I started getting opinions off other starlet specialist who told me Also that it's the realease bearing, as it was fine before I gave them the car, so I kept staying Intouch with mike who kept saying To me he will take a look when I take it for mapping, so I kept calm and run the car in and took it in for mapping, on the day of the mapping they never mentioned nothing about The problem untill I mentioned it, I goes am not going to get the car mapped untill the problem Is sorted so they decided to take a look and came out with saying its the input shaft bearing In the gear box, I don't understand how it Can be the input shaft bearing because when I gave them the car it was fine as soon as they changed the clutch kit for a brand new spec six puk paddle clutch which suppose to be supplied with a new release bearing, I goes to mike I need the car sorted today before mapping which to he said we dont keep and realise bearings in stock which I thought was abit wierd as I thought he was trying to put it off, but he kept telling Me nick noes his stuff and it's deffo the input shaft bearing he goes we adjusted the clutch peddle and it's not sticking no more, then he goes it's up to u if u Want to map it or not but he assured me that the rattle will not affect the car in anyway and u can continue to drive it after mapping so in the end I decided to get it mapped as I travelled all that way down to them as it would have been a waste of a journey and fuel and time, On the way home I realised the gears are still sticking and the car is a appsalute Pain to drive up on till now I dont understand how u can say its the input shaft bearing just by listening to the noise. Now am not on here to slate anybody as this has been like this since I got the car back they could have sorted it but they just don't seem like they want to I've paid near enuff £3500 including mapping And I can't even drive the car properly And now am vary of giving the car back To them as they could just make it up saying It's not the realise bearing so I'm Stuck in the middle of a shit expiriance and a car that don't work properly

We're are u from bud? Will u be at japfest ? If so bring them with u might take them

I know mate after spending all that money u would think a reputable company like TD would sort it no problem now am stuck in the middle.... Will be taking it to someone local after japfest and if it does turn out to be the clutch or release bearing I will be striaght on the phone to td

Will do thanks agen
