Jim* Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 not had the clutch in long maybe 4 months, its a spec clutch from tuning developments, my box seems to be on it's way out as I struggle with first second and third they can be very stiff to get out of gear. But when it's idleing if I flick the clutch out fast in neutral it starts making a knocking noise. but if I let it out slowly still in neutral it wont make the noise? somebody has said it could be the release bearing but it's barely done any miles. Car is running exhaust and front mount but stock boost pressure and I just don't believe that 140bhp has killed this clutch already. Anyone got any other ideas what it could be? Quote
daniel_g Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Could try bleeding the clutch again, and maybe adjust it at the pedal to remove any free-play. Quote
AdamWheatley Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 The release bearings from spec are noisy, I also had the same problem with gears after fitting it ended up taking the box off to see and it had spat the spring out, best bet is to ring mike up he's ALWAYS happy to help Quote
Jim* Posted September 10, 2013 Author Posted September 10, 2013 it was fitted around 4 months ago and has been fine for ages, but now it's really struggling! I can't put my foot down because changing gear becomes impossible! Quote
AdamWheatley Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 That's how mine ended up couldn't change at all Quote
AdamB Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Have heard about some problems with the release baerings on these of late. Best bet is to ask Mike. Quote
Jim* Posted September 10, 2013 Author Posted September 10, 2013 Cheers for your help guys ill give him a call, but if it was the release bearing would I not be having the same problem with 5th? Quote
