No big job mate. Gearbox to be removed. The last car to change a clutch without moving the gearbox was a Vauxhall Cavalier 1998/99.
It will be due to the input shaft bearing in gearbox.
the front end load bearing or other bearing in the gearbox will be stuffed. when you engage the clutch the gearbox doesnt have any drive thru it so stops turning and then you noise stops.
No, main bearing noise is a rumble Throw out/release bearing for the clutch will only be heard when the clutch pedal is depressed. If you hear the noise without the clutch pedal being depressed, it is most likely the gearbox first motion shaft bearing that is at fault. First motion shaft bearing noise usually goes away when the clutch pedal is pressed.
it will fit fine, though you might need to swap the clutch release bearing and the cover plate.
The clutch release bearing, also known as the throw-out bearing, plays a critical role in the operation of a manual transmission system. It facilitates the disengagement of the clutch by pressing against the clutch diaphragm spring when the clutch pedal is depressed. This action allows the clutch disc to separate from the flywheel, enabling smooth gear changes. Proper functioning of the release bearing is essential for effective clutch operation and preventing premature wear.
The release bearing, also known as the clutch release bearing, is a critical component in a vehicle's manual transmission system. It allows the clutch to disengage from the engine when the driver presses the clutch pedal, enabling smooth gear shifts. Positioned between the pressure plate and the clutch fork, it facilitates the movement of the clutch assembly, reducing friction and wear during operation. Proper functioning of the release bearing is essential for effective clutch performance and overall vehicle drivability.
To replace a throw out bearing in any car or truck you must remove the gearbox, then remove the clutch, then pull the bearing out of the flywheel and replace it. Assemble in reverse order.
To remove a clutch slave cylinder from as Astra gearbox, push the piston down against the spring pressure. Then release quickly.
you have to remove the clutch arm from the top of the trans because there is a stop on the arm stopping the shaft from spinning to release fork inside from bearing.
sounds like maybe a clutch release bearing. what vehicle
Could be a long list of things; Noisy when clutch pressed Pulsating pedal with engine running Difficult to ingage gears Slipping clutch or harsh vibrations The thrust bearing, and fork, should be replaced when the clutch is replaced. Bearing Slide and Fly wheel should be inspected and replaced if need be.
check your fluid level for the clutch master cylinder or the throwout bearing, the clutch release bearing could do this too.
