Hi Boney, checked the ratchet when I did the Thrust bearing, everything seemed ok there. The grinding/whiring/rattling sound is at it's worst when in neutral or just between the gears, mainly when lifting the clutch after a gear change.
I was thinking maybe the push rod is the culprit, am I right in saying the Thrust Bearing pushes against the Push Rod which in turn pushes the pressure plate away from the flywheel??
If this is correct, Is the push rod in constant contact with the pressure plate (Just touching when the clutch is up)??
If it is, and it is worn, then surely this would be grinding/whiring/rattling around and would explain why theres no noise when the clutch is pressed.
Next question, does anybody know where I can get a new push rod from?
?
Cheers.
