<div>I'm assuming that this is the standard B&B spring clutch and not =
the later diaphragm clutch found in the BJ7-8.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When you did the install 18 mo. ago did you by any chance hang up on =

did you have difficulty moving the trans exactly centered forward and=
home without any resistance? Hitting something?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The center yoke of the pressure plate is suspended and if you hit one =
of the hangers it can later manifest into a misalignment and noise at the =
TO bearing. Feeling it in the pedal is a clue. If it was a later diaphragm =
clutch and has a broken finger you definitely get pedal vibration.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One other "test"... upon driving; is the noise =
(vibration) better or worse when in OD or direct?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Probably should not drive it much until issue is found but I'm afraid =
to say it may involve R & R of the unit.Hank</div>

<div>Simon -
<div> </div>
<div>Your email is a little confusing - a couple quick =
questions:<br><br>1) Does the clutch make the noise while your foot is on =
the clutch? While your foot is on the clutch does it do it if the car=
is in gear?<span style=3D"background-color: transparent;">,</span> or =
not<span style=3D"background-color: transparent;"> in gear, or both?=
</span></div>
<div>2) are there some pinging or slapping noises one you =
have full let the clutch out, or does it only make noise when your are =
shifting?</div>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I need advice regarding a =
new issue pertaining to my clutch/gearbox. At least that is my =
understanding. By “clutch/gearbox”, I include master and slave =
cylinders….</p>
<p>Car is UK RHD A-H3000 MkII BT7.</p>
<p>Has marginally lightened flywheel.</p>
<p>Centre shift.</p>
<p>Clutch plate is about 18 months old. Not gone long distance nor been =
thrashed around.</p>
<p>Noise is not related to engine speed.</p>
<p>I did some tests in my backyard……</p>
<p>I made a few notes:-</p>
<p>Reverse out into backyard…..no =
problems.</p>
<p>Back and forward in first and reverse about 5 times then =
the noise starts in both gears.</p>
<p>It is a harsh rubbing/grating noise,=
accompanied by a vibration which I can feel in clutch foot. I get =
impression that it’s down low on rhs.</p>
<p>Can feel vibration in my=
clutch foot when the noise is happening.</p>
<p>Noise happens as I lift =
clutch foot to engage reverse or first. (Didn’t try =
2<sup>nd</sup>)</p>
<p>Noise stops once I lift foot all the way and engage =
gear whereupon car drives normally ie noise only happens when in process of=
engaging gear.</p>
<p>There is no noise or vibration when car is in =
neutral.</p>
<p>Noise does not occur every time. Most times.</p>
<p>Now, my belief is that this may be something to do with the carbon =
“release bearing”. Maybe not wear because it’s pretty new=
but maybe because it’s not engaging fully or it’s not aligned =
right. I’m thinking about slave cylinder or master cylinder issues =
but they’re pretty new as well. Can’t speak for the flexible =
hose going to slave as I’ve had so much, basically overdrive, issues =
in that area that I can’t recall the minor parts.</p>
<p>I absolutely dread having to take the gearbox out AGAIN and am hopeful =
that it won’t be necessary.</p>
<p>Any ideas??</p>
<p>Yours hopefully, Simon</p>
