300 gd 1989, clutch noise
Hello all and happy new year.
I would like some advice on the following. I notice recently a grinding/ rubbing sound as I release the clutch in first and second gear. The noise is at a certain point just as the clutch engages and if I keep the clutch at that point the noise continues intermittently. I can also detect, at the same time as the noise, a slight vibration through the gear lever.
Any idea whats going on?? Thanks Vic b.
Could be the thrust bearing.
Only hearing it in 1st and 2nd could be a red herring. THe noise could be there in the other gears but you can't hear it because other noises (tyre, engine, wind etc) cover it up at higher speeds.
£28 for the part
Thanks,
I assume fitting requires gear box removal, what else should I know, also what is the likely labour cost?
thanks Vic

Thanks for the reply,
Could it be anything else?? If not how much is a thrust bearing and does it have to be a main dealer part. I assume I will do no harm by using my vehicle as is. Also is this a costly job? Thanks Vic b
