Hi, I have recently completed a full rebuild and I'm trying to run in my engine, but theres an odd rattling comming from the clutch area, this dissappears when the clutch pedal is depressed, which made we think idler gear, but if I slightly loosen the clutch cover, this rattle goes away, could this be a problem with the release bearing, because they sent me a funny, self-centering one, any ideas anyone?

No standard gears, but I dont think its the gears anyway otherwise the noise would still be there when i slacken the clutch housing off wouldnt it? I was thinking it may be something to do with the thrust sleve because the one on my mini's engine had some weird plastic thing inbetween the sleve and the crank, but the metro turbo didnt, could this be designed to stop rattling? does anyone have any idea what im babbling on about? lol,

It covers the main seal. Is that the weired plastic thing? if so-- No its just there to keep dust off the seal. website:- http://www.terryhunt.co.uk

no there was a weird plasti thing that sat on the end of the crank and then the thrust sleeve sat on top of this, this was only present on my mini engine however, I thinkI'll have to stop beating about the bush and just take the side cover off, a fair bit of work involved I wasnt expecting tho :( |

As Brian says, it's basically a plastic bush formed out of a strip of material. It should have been there on any Verto set-up (inside the throw out thust sleeve).

If not, the clutch thrust bearing might be tosh! On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:
