Def 1993 with lof clutch, rattle 1 year after clutch change

Bezdonian · Dec 18, 2021

Good Evening
I've been having a problem with my clutch 1 year after the old one was replaced with a lof power spec clutch kit, which also came with the all metal thrust bearing.
the rattle only occurs when its cold or raining. Its starts rattling around 5 mph and gets louder in every gear till after a few minutes it stops. But it also stops temporarily when the clutch is depressed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As it stops only temporarily with clutch in may well be something not related. Try running up the gears with the transfer box in neutral and varying the engine speed both through the gears and in neutral on the main box doing so with clutch both in and out.

Thanks for responding.
I've done that today and there is no unusual noise.
It was suggested that it could be worn ujs. however still not sure as there isn't a lot of play in them.

Take front prop off and drive in diff lock to check for noise, still there repeat with rear. What can happen is a dry UJ journal has worn some but as it warms up when driving noise goes away as it tightens up. You can also go for a drive, then stop and have a feel [careful ] for a hot UJ. Rust/brown on journal can be a sign

Could be anything and as said not necessarily clutch. I’ve had similar symptoms with a sticking handbrake. I would start at the wheels and work backwards to the tranny checking for play.

Sot on there payydg, a hand brake that is sticking a bit will give those sort of symptoms.
