Advice please and hopefully a answer
Hi all
I hope some one can come up with the right answer
When driving the indy when i lift off the throttle there is a rattle noise coming from the gearbox / clutch area
If i dip the clutch while it's making the noise the noise stops
But the gearbox /prop diff axle is still turning
What do you all think it will be causing the noise
The noise is not there while its driving under load
The engine is a pinto - type9 gearbox - sierra diff
Could it be bearings in the gearbox ?

Hi Buddy 
Is it the release bearing chattering against the clutch cover?
Try adjusting the cable a bit to take out most of the slack to see if that does the trick - it did on mine 
Cheers

Rattle
Hi
It the release bearing knackered
You need to fit a new one,
Putting it up against the pressure plate will stop the rattle but will shag the pressure plate if the bearing seizes.
Good luck

Have you tried adjusting the slack out of the clutch cable? IIRC someone posted about the same problem recently

Hi No, it looks like it will be my first job to try to stop the noise
Please keep the ideas coming just in case its not the cable adjustment

ad rattle update Originally posted by ditchlewis
after the problems on my trip to stoneleigh, a bad rattle from the gear box, i have had the car out for a drive tonight
the rattle is gone, it would appear to have been the thrust bearing fork being badly adjusted and this has been cured by a capri clutch cable with
built in adaptor.
the oil i used is a bit thicker than the standard spec and this has resulted in a clunky change when cold.
unfortunatley the test drive was limited to 5 miles as there is now an over heating problem. a leak some where, but it is too dark to see now.
many thanks for all the advice lads

Earlier reply said thrust bearing knackered, I think not.
Thrust bearings tend to make noise when clutch depressed not when free
I also think its a simple loose cable.

Yeh, I'd agree with the cable stretching a bit, maybe worth checking it's not fraying anywhere as I about to snap before taking the slack
out?
Cheers
