Hi Guys

Put a new clutch in my escort, got a loud noise coming from that area, sounds like a aux belt screaching, press clutch it stops. whilst driving it drives me mad.
Any help would be great.

Thanks Steve

its your release bearing then mate.

either fitted wrongly or its fooked.

Yeah it was a complete kit. if i pull slightly on the release arm only slighty it stops. the noise is driving me mad. lol

i was speaking to my mate as he has an escort and he seems to think their should be a metal gasket between the engine and gearbox????????

thanks steve

yes there should be a dust guard between engine and gearbox. does sound like its a release bearing prob.

if the dust plate is makin a noise..then you have a problem..cause then the gearbox is not proper tightened to the engine..and thats not good.

it sounds like the release bearing mate.difficult to say when not hearing it ourselves..but..most likely it is the release bearing.

steveo135 · 28-11-2007, 03:24 PM

it does not have the metal dust plate.

cheers

I agree that it could be your release bearing the other thing that it could be is that the release bearing is not located in the arm properly and the arm is rubbing on the input shaft when slack. the later is what it sounds like to me if its a screaching sound.

ok, when driving if i push the clutch pedal in approximatly 1 inch it stops.?????????????/

It´s defo related to the dust-plate and release bearing.
So before you break anything, take it apart and get it fixed
