zee_ack Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hi,I have just got a EP91 about a month ago and i love it!!On my way to work this morning i noticed a sort of rattle when pressing the clutch to change gear!! When i got to here i opened my bonnet and got someone to rev the car, I can only here the rattle when the engine is around 2,000-4,000 rpm and it only seems to happen when the engine is returning to idle!?!It seem to be coming from the gearbox side so any ideas?Cheers Zack Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarletMad Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Sit in the car and get someone yo depress clutch pedal is its thrust bearing it will disappear but will re appear when clutch is released. You can fo this in neutral by the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Does it have a hardcore clutch isn't it?? My Blitz active rattles when the clutch pedal is pressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zee_ack Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yeah its defiantly not thrust bearing I had a Jetta that did it too me and its nothing like that! Recently my alternator has been making a racket so im guessing its that tbh! But cant check as its at the painters If its not I will be back for some more help Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I reckon its the alternator mate! I still haven't had chance to dig it out the shed yet sorry!... Welcome to the forum too ;) Get some pictures up bitch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Don't mean to intrude mate but I fitted an Exedy organic clutch just last year and recently i've been getting noises similar to a release bearing, whats the crack there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
