clutch

[rob-legend]

hey guys. Right my clutch has begun 2 make a whirring noise when it is released. But once i push the clutch in it goes away. Any ideas? If so. How easy of a repair job is it? Cheers guys n girls and all the best for new year!

Will be release bearing, may as well swap clutch

Get it done soonish, drove a punto for 1-2 weeks once it has started making the noise, and by end clutch release plate had about 2 springy things left and it had damaged input shaft

I didn't rush with this lol.......but thats what happened, left me stranded half way down the M1 in the pissing rain.....recon i might ahve just made it back home if i hadn't hit traffic

[rob-legend]

great :( i've just had the engine and box out a few weeks back. is this an easy job to do? or does the box have to come out again

[Lunner]

Its the bit that goes on the end of the release fork, so box has to come out

[Lunner]

With a view to what crossers said i'd monitor it and see if it gets any worse before ripping the box off again

i'd leave it for now, jay s had this same problem, and his clutch lasted about 8 months
