When i started my car the earlier i noticed that there is a small noise coming from the gearbox area. When i dip the clutch the noise goes away. This happens when the car is stationary and in neutral. Could this be the release bearing?

 

I've just put a brand new bearing in mine and had the box rebuilt by CTS and mine does this. Wondering if something is loose.

 

me and my mate bought stage 1 ap organic clutch and it still did that...

its a rs... clutch is still running strong.

 

yeah it is relaese bearing noise i am a mechanic by trade and on an everyday car you would replace the release bearing to get rid of the noise but on fords it just seems to be there even tho everything is new, so in other words it'll be reeeet!

 

just taken the car out and it makes a horrible noise. Cant get 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th and 1st is very noisey. Only got to the bottom of the street

 

It's shagged then! Time to spend some pennies

 

if noise goes when you press the clutch its the gearbox if its noisey when you press the clutch its the release bearing as it is then under load and will only make a noise then

 

as studabear sais, if its making noise in neutrel idling with clutch up, its most likely the mainshaft bearings in the box.

clutch pressed, and noise is the release bearing!

Botters, thank fook u dont fix my car

 

What box is best to go for the car is running 188BHP and am hopefully getting a stage 3 T3 turbo once i have sorted out this gearbox issue. I dont want to get a box then up the power and blow another one. Thanks for the help
