my clutch went about 2 months ago and i have just recently changed it for a ap racing organic kit. i put the car on axel stands and removed the gearbox onto the floor with drive shafts still conected. i have now put the gearbox and clutch back on and the clutch works grand but there is a crunchy grinding noise when slowing down in gear also when accelerating. if the clutch is pressed in and the car is rolling i can still hear it but not as loud. does anyone have any clue? ive been told it might be the cluth release bearing but unsure about that. the car is a s2 rst.

 

faulty release bearing mate ,time for the box to come back off!!!!
gutted

 

got told it might be the box vibrating on the cradle as it does it mainly on over run. gona try and adjust it with the slots where the bushes mount the cradle.

I have exactly the same problem with this strange noise and the gearbox works erfectly but strange noise


I suspect a problem with the clutch cable so the release bearing is not always again the clutch

did you find the solution ?

 

i am on ma mates account at moment computers fuked. havent found the solution yet but am gona try a new cable. i will let you know how it goes
