Hi Guys,
I know this has been done to death and I appologise for that. I have a td5 def 110 and it started out with a slight nouse but in the last couple of weeks the noise has got worse and appears to have developed a rattle.
Now when the clutch is depressed the noise goes away, the rattle only starts when high revs, and there is still a slight whirring wity the car in gear and transfer box in neutral.
there is A lot of debate on the various forums that if the noise goes away that means that the noise is the gearbox input bearing and other people say that it's the pressure on the bearing that takes the slack out and stops the noise.
My intial thoughts are that's it's the release bearing and that the input bearing wouldn't rattle. However I'm prepared to be corrected and if I've gone from whirring to ratting in a few weeks it's on the way out rather quickly.
Any options etc welcome about how long it will last and if it is indeed release bearing and if there is a definitive way of working out which before I split it all!
Cheers for the help guys!
