slight whinning noise when clutch is pressed in
Hi guys
Recently Ive noticed that when I go to use the car in the morning (or whenever its been standing over night for example) Ive started to hear a slight whinning noise when i press the clutch pedal in to select a gear, after the engine has warmed up (eg been running a while) i cant hear it
any ideas what it could be, does the clutch need replacing? as i don't think its ever been changed
any ideas would be great, thanks

Re: slight whinning noise when clutch is pressed in
try checking theres enough Gear oil,
and top up if its low,
someone else had the Sameproblem and it was cured with some oil added,
other than that if it dont cure it it couid be Thrust bearing

its Hypoid gear oil you use ,

Re: slight whinning noise when clutch is pressed in
That might be early signs of the release bearing going
The 75W80 should do the trick. The level plug is on the back of the diff, you'll need to get the car dead level somehow while still being able to get underneath it...
From mjb's clutch change how to - you can just about see it half way up the diff casing:

Re: slight whinning noise when clutch is pressed in
well the garage says new clutch and thrust bearing £280 for the job, they say its a 7hr job??
