    Noisy Clutch!

    Hi folks, my clutch is a little noisy at the moment, altough changes into every gear happily, and when I pull the clutch in (in nuetral) the noise goes away, it's not 'loud' but I can here it and just wondering is it a 'feature' or does something need a tweak (or replace) Help appreciated as ever.

    Shack,

    AT clutches are known for being a bit noisey. Mine rumbles a bit until you pull the clutch lever in. If it's changing gear OK then I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    That'll be the clutch basket (worn groves). This is quite "normal" for the AT. As long as the plates engage smoothly under acceleration there is no real need to replace the basket.

    Mine will make a bit of racket too with the clutch lever in. I don't worry about it.
