Smashing! and there was me thinking of cunning ways to get some oil to the bearings without removing the box. 1999 Defender TD5 110

A lot of them do it but shouldn't really. Mine does but only when its cold and first thing in the morning. I find dipping the clutch, selecting nuetral and starting the gear selection process stops it. After the first 400 yards all is normal. Only Alcohol Can Save me Now

After mine has sat all night or all day at work it makes the noise other than that is quiet.
Is there any adjustment on the piush rod that might help? 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |

There is no adjustment for clutch release bearing problems. But there is adjustment on the clutch master cylinder rod to ensure the clutch isn't engaged when the pedal is up and is fully disengaged.
Is the noise you are getting the clutch not disengaging? It should be 140mm from bottom of clutch pedal rubber to floor with all mats up. Check that. If mine made a noise after a clutch change I would prob take it back! The clutch release bearing shouldn't make a noise. Especially when new.

+1 Its not actually the release bearing it is usually the spiggot in the flywheel, which even still makes a noise after you strip it back out and coat in copperslip, what causes it is wear in the gearbox input shaft bearing allowing the shaft to move slightly as the clutch is engaging. Mine did it for years. If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

When I have my foot on the clutch and to the floor and in neutral I here a whiring noise, as I engage gear and bring up the clutch the whiring does get louder until I am off the clutch. I will check the measurement from the pedal to the floor.
When buying the clutch I made sure I went for a decent make - Valeo I might email the supplier and ask their view as well. 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |

The spigot bush shouldn't be lubricated, as it is sort of 'self lubricating'. It should be changed with every clutch change, otherwise you end up having to live with the noise. If the bush was quiet before the change, you can find it gets noisy as soon as the new clutch is in.
The gearbox input shaft and splines shouldn't be lubricated either, according to the book. |

The clutch pedal is about 145-147mm from floor to the bottom of the pedal
The noise was present before the clutch change. 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |
