A clutch release bearing that rattles. Some of us have it some of us don't. Maybe you can shed some light on this one. Before replacing clutch everything was hunky dory.
Here is what I've done.
Undid gearbox and swapped out pressure plate and disk for new genuine valeo items including release bearing. Greased the shaft using the provided grease packet.The rattles began.
Undid gearbox to make sure release bearing was on the fork correctly and it was.
Swapped out clutch cable and still same. (and it's routed correctly)
Put back in the old release bearing and still the same rattle.
Changed gearbox and still the same.
:?
So going over some old posts, and I found different response's. Some said that the same happens on volvo's when they are new? Other's live with it.
But I can't help feeling that I've done something wrong. Can't be right having a rattle on the release bearing can it?
Anyone able to shed some light on this strange phenomenon? :)
