Anything serious?

  1. I was driving the other day and noticed in 3rd and 4th gear I get a bit of a grinding noise, not loud, it's not when I'm accelerating it only does it if I let off the pedal as if the clutch is engaging slightly?
    Any idea?
    I'm going to top up the gearbox oil today if it's low to see if that helps
    Cheers

    Usually sounds like scraping noise when you press the clutch. It gets worse eventually.
     
  12. have you tried adjusting clutch a tad tom see if it still does it ?
     
  13. It is like a scraping noise but it's only when I let off the power no particularly when I depress the clutch
     
  14. Not as yet Barn! That was my next step
