Mike46 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 So I have scoured the forum and seen a lot of posts about clutch / release bearing issues, would just like to check I have the same issue, or if anything else is on its way out. Basically when im stationary, in neutral, foot off clutch, I get a constant rubbing noise, wouldnt describe it as a ratttling noise really. But when I push down the clutch it stops. I have seen on the forum people saying this is the release bearing and its normal, but some people describe it as a rattling noise and some as a rubbing noise, is this all the same issue? Also the biting point seems to be very low on the pedal and while in a traffic jam for over an hour yesterday I was getting the smell of burning clutch. Im guessing this is a seperate issue? More likely the whole clutch assembly? Any help appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Clutch sounds like its normal. Try and avoid sitting in gear in traffic with the clutch depressed. Rattle rubbing is completely normal. Hot clutch smell is also normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike46 Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Oh okay, that's reassuring! Is the low biting point on the pedal normal aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Oh okay, that's reassuring! Is the low biting point on the pedal normal aswell? mines is really high but I expect that's because it's wearing out tbh. Urs sounds like it was replaced recently. I wouldn't worry about it too much as the zed clutch will start slipping once its done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Sounds like you got a bit of a sporty clutch you got in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
