Seademon 0 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hi - been told that my clutch release bearing is starting to sound noisy - could this cause the car to give clutch judder and also make it hard to get in gear when cold?I had a new clutch fitted last summer along with the bearing (Helix) shall I just replace with an OEM bearing - what else would it be best to get done when this is being done? Chains etc? They will need doing soon.Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
kilokilla 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 if chains need doing best get all done at same time as both jobs require gearbox removal also which clutch did you have fitted because majority of time judder is down to crap quality clutches id recommend you replace complete clutch kit and as i have said if tensioners are due it will cost more in the long run to have gearbox removed twice.Also it could be clutch making hard to get in gear when cold but more than likely down to oil in box loosing its viscosity so you might want to get that changed too mate.

Seademon 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Well the clutch is a Helix Grp N clutch so not a crap one! I just dont really know what the clutch release bearing does, just on idle its making a little squeak & just trying to determine that if this is on its way out what it affects.I'll get the chains done at the same time - makes sense :0)Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
