noisy clutch
zetec mated to a mt75 box. there is a heavy knocking noise when when the car is in neutral and ticking over, when i depress the clutch the noise goes
and all sounds well, The car drives well and there is no vibration or anything through the clutch pedal. It has a new 1.8 clutch and flywheel along
with the modified westfield release bearing and a new spigot bearing fitted to the crank, anybody any ideas before i split and investigate.

with no pre-tension on the pedal the bearing rattles.
Fit a spring on the clutch arm to hold the bearing upto the cover plate
or ignor it

On the Golf mines always rattled, when it came to replacing the clutch i fitted a new bearing as it was ruined, still rattles a minorly but shouldnt
be anything to really worry about.

I thought I had a noisy clutch - untill I checked the gearbox oil level........ Topping it up quietened things a little , but it seems my £40 ebay
gearbox is a knacker 
And I know its not the clutch bearing , its a concentric/hydraulic one with a built-in spring . It now makes the most god-awful graunching
/rattling/rumbling most of the time , but goes quiet when the pedal is depressed .
I think the 997 mile trip to France , and some serious full throttle abuse have really killed it off now though
Its cuz I is blond , innit
