richard005 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hi all, first post here, be gentle I've been the happy owner of an early 06 350 since May! (It's been awesome) The issue I've been getting is an odd one that I can't seem to describe well enough when searching .. my powerful google-foo has failed me. Anyways, my clutch pedal feels "crunchy" during the travel up and down, like there's like little spikes of resistance. There's also a reasonable amount of bearing noise when idling. The crunchy feeling comes and goes which is a little odd too... I'm planning on getting the clutch bearing done to be rid of the dull rubbing noise anyway, and while I'm there I'll probably replace the whole clutch but I was just looking to see what else it might be. Master/Slave? Air in the lines? Pivot/fork? All help appreciated, thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Replacing the clutch kit including bearing should fix your issue: See here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard005 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Any suggestions as to what the source of the crunchy pedal feeling actually is? Rust? Something sticking? Hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Could well be the bearing they do dry out, it's normal to grease it all back up when the new one is fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 As Keyser has said, could be the bearing failing or drying out or the bearing carrier sticking on the sleeve or faulty fingers on the diaphragm. Perhaps lack of lub. on the pivot ball/fork. You will soon see once you pull the box. All parts are in stock and good to go same/next day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
