strange noise, advice please =(

[turbodaily]

ok guys, getting weird noises which im pretty sure are coming from the gearbox... the only way to describe the noise is its like the sound of cogs meshing with eachother,or like a creeking sound. im getting abit of juddering when pulling away now, the noise is there on idle but not as loud, but if you put the clutch pedal down it gets louder,then quiter again when released...

does this sound like the box or the clutch???

any advice much appreciated

just listened to it again and sounds like clutch release bearing. what dya think?

 

[stumo]

yep, sounds like the bearing.

Juddering clutch can be down to oil on the clutch or warped center plate or pressure plate or a damaged flywheel.

just tried driving it and the clutch seems to be biting really early in reverse,hard not to stall it as it just leaps back as soon as you lift the clutch pedal abit...

 

[stumo]

it shouldn't matter if it's 1st , 5th or reverse. the clutch should bite at the same point.

 

[turbodaily]

think its the gearbox,making some wierd rattling sound on idle. like the bearings. can you get gearbox rebuild kits?

 

[stumo]

there isn't a "rebuild kit" as such, you'll need the box stripping and finding out what's worn (probibly everything as it's at least 12Yo)
