Stardust Posted 28August, 2017 Report Share Posted 28August, 2017 Hi all,My 915 gearbox just started making a couple of "new" noises.The first noise is an annoying squeak/squeal. I originally thought it was a worn fan belt, but after replacing it the noise still exists.It was originally only on a cold start but now seems to persist beyond that.The squeal appears when the clutch is fully released. It only takes a minor touch of the clutch pedal (the slightest pressure that depresses the pedal about 1mm) and, voila, the noise dissapears.The second is a little more worrying. It appears on cold start but seems to disappear once warm. It is a "woosh" sound when depressing the clutch for the first 25-30% of the pedal travel.I appreciate the rattles of the 915 when the clutch is released but, as i said earlier, these noises are new. Is it helpful to know that the car has had a layup of about 2 months?Cheers and TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 28August, 2017 Report Share Posted 28August, 2017 Thrust bearing perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 28August, 2017 Report Share Posted 28August, 2017 Suggest a good long hard drive and see if it's still thereLow clutch fluid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardust Posted 2October, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 2October, 2017 Low clutch fluid Tazzieman wins a prize. 2.5 litres out. 3 litres in.Still can't pinpoint that fan-belt like squeal that disappears at the lightest touch of the clutch pedal, though.

tazzieman Posted 2October, 2017 Report Share Posted 2October, 2017 That's 3L more capacity than mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 2October, 2017 Report Share Posted 2October, 2017 Thrust bearing perhaps? I would suggest this or maybe the Spigot bearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
