Hi all,
When I depress the clutch pedal , in neutral, there is a rattling noise coming from the gearbox. When I release the pedal the sound is completely gone.
The Haynes manual states this is most likely caused by a bad/worn input shaft bearing(s).
However, there is no play in the input shaft up-down. There is play when I turn the shaft (anti)clockwise ( probably normal? )
Should I remove the front cover supporting the shaft,would that make a difference ?
If there's no apparent play on the input shaft could it still be worn (on bearings) and being the cause of the rattling noise?
I rather avoid opening up the gearbox if there is no need to
Thans for any help/advice!
