Noise when pressing clutch

toms3 · Sep 17, 2015

For the last month iv had a funny high pitch metallic rattling noise that when lift my foot off the clutch (the rattle lasts half a second ish) If I lift my foot off the accelerator quickly and my landrover jerks it does it severel times then then too. It's a 1987 landrover 90 with a disco 200 tdi engine fitted. About 6 months ago I fitted a new Valeo clutch kit, heavy duty fork arm and throw out bearing. It drives fine but this noise is getting me worried! Could it be a loose torsion spring or casing on clutch pressure plate? It's not been fitted long. I can't. See anything visable under there and it's recently had a new front prop. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers! Tom.

If it only happens when you depress clutch pedal, particularly when stationary, the odds are on clutch release bearing

Take this with a pinch of salt, missed the bit where the OP said rattle last half a second!!

cheers big si that sounds like my noise!

i replaced the front prop around a month ago (britpart) so i kind of overlooked the possability it could be that.

will greasing help? i gave it a good dose of grease before fitting. ill grease it tonight on my break and report back if it quietens down.

Check all the nuts & bolts on the prop are still tight, or were tightened properly. If one's a bit loose it can rattle a bit.
It happened to me a friend of mine.

Yup, even though they're nylocks, it is possible for them to get loose. It happened on mine about 18 months ago. You notice a bit of a clunk or other noise on drive take up, so they don't get he chance to undo themselves very far before it starts producing symptoms.
