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

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

this is going to sound really stupid now but which compartment does the gear box oil go into as ive never looked into this and i dont want to get it wrong, also what lol, also what oil is best??


thanks

There isnt a Compartment as such,
ithink if irember correctly you Remove The Reverse switch from Gear box and you top up from there,

Hopefully someone will post up a diagram shortly,


or Just Shout mr earwig hes very good at helping out with Diagrams

wow sounds complicated

No mate its not complicated beleive it or not,
icarnt get at my Peugeot stuff its on Another pc so im unable to point out where to top up,
theres a bolt you take out at bottom of box you can check oil level from,

its Hypoid gear oil you use ,


Someone will Guide you through this shortly me hopes,

which one out of these would do the trick

also how do i go about checking the level before i buy some oil? as i cant find my haynes manual atm

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:

hmmm think i'll take it to the garage

thanks guys

well the garage says new clutch and thrust bearing £280 for the job, they say its a 7hr job??

is that right and a decent price?

found a cheaper price for £195
