Yeah I know - last time I listen to you lot!
I was amazed how rusty the plates were, but Frodo has hardly moved for the last two years. But it's nothing a quick sanding won't sort out, and then I'll give them a coat of wd40 to stop it happening again. (joke!)
Right. Frodo is all back together, and the clutch is working, BUT, when it's in gear, and you slip the clutch, while moving off, or coming to a stop, it makes the most awful noise! It soundlike a ripsaw going though wood, and sort of similar to the niose you get if you try to engage reverse without pressing the clutch down! Any ideas what I've done wrong?
The slave cylinder is in the correct palce now!
I think you could be right though, it does sort of sound like lots of things in distress in a row!
The only thing is, it only happens when a gear is engaged, I can push the clutch up and down in neutral and its fine. :~
I think I am going to have to take it all off again
It's def not the diff. It only happens while raising or lowering the clutch while in gear. In neutral there's no noise, and once the clutch is engaged/ disengaged there's no noise. I can get all fwd gears and reverse and the noise is there for each of them. Once you are moving, the noise goes.
Hi Panky, I should have mentioned that the diff was changed.
Colin, I can't be certain, but I think Tim is probably closer to the money, I just can't understand how and why!

I'll try to get a willing volunteer....
Did you put the pressure plate back on the same way it came off?
Just thinking because the centre boss on the plate sticks out more on one side - if it's in the wrong way round then it could foul the cover plate as the thrust bearing pushes against it from the other side - graunch graunch[xx(]
Panky, yeah I have thought about that possibility, the longer side should face the rear shouldn't it?
Chris, no I remembered to fill up the gearbox - in fact I had filled it up last year and was gutted to have to drain away beautiful golden oil when I took the box out! Looks like I may have to do it again!
