Seals have blown on mine, going to tackle it tonight and have it done by Sunday hopefully
Can you take the transfer box out from underneath?
I have a 2001 td5 I would assume it’s just a lever but I don’t know someone else will be able to tell me
What release bearing are you fitting? I have found that even when brand new the HD metal ones like to have a bit of a rattle. As annoying as it is I have learned to live with it, as although the plastic ones start quiet they quickly rattle as well and then fail sooner!Still rattling like a rattly thing in a rattly place.
Put foot on the clutch (which feels great BTW) and - silence.
Take foot off and Mr Midget (with a tin can full of spanners - sounds like Roses, could be Quality Street ?) starts shakin.
It changes with gear and revs..

If the noise comes and goes with the clutch pedal (when stationary) 1st Motion shaft bearing/ layshaft bearings. The mainshaft is not rotating when stopped, so can't be making the noise. Gearbox overhaul time????
