david c Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 While we are on and around the subject of the clutch I would appreciate any thoughts. The clutch works fine at the moment, but with the engine running every time I depress the pedal I get a noise (like treading on a hamster, or to be accurate what I would think the noise made by a hamster would be, if I trod on one) Like Roger I have greased the moving bits outside the clutch housing, this had no effect. I don't think it's too dramatic but It can't be right and I would like to stop it. Thanks David Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stillp Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Does it keep on squealing as long as the pedal is pressed? Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytr5 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Release bearing sounds shot perhaps. Regards Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geko Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Release bearing noise. Nothing to worry about for the time being Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david c Posted July 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thanks folks Only squeaks for a moment when the pedal is depressed The whole unit is new and has only done 50 miles, 25 without the squeak, 25 squeaking miles. I will live with it for the time being and if it is still happening I'll look again in the winter. Thanks again, David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillp Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 I tried to research this noise, but I'm now banned from Pets at Home. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Hi David, I have the same on my newly installed clutch/bearing. It is caused by the release bearing rubbing on the diaphragm finger and not spinning. With a bit more pressure the bearing grips and starts to spin and the squeak stops. Leave alone and enjoy it.

Guest ntc Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Nope You should be able by hand to make the bearing touch the plate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
