Helix Paddle Clutch
 
Hi everyone hope your doing fine would like to ask you lot a question I’ve got a 4 paddle Helix clutch fitted about 3 months ago, when my car is idling I can hear the clutch making a whining noise and as soon as I put the clutch right down to the floor the noise goes away, the noise is louder than the engine which is annoying but the whining noise does get quieter when the car is running at least for half an hour, was wondering does your paddle clutch do that as well? Or is there something not right with mine?

noisey release bearing.

As Rick said. Release Bearing. I put a brand new genuine Ford on in mine when I put my new box on and it still did this. Although mine was like a faint rattle/shaking than a whine.
