Fly Wheel chatter...hmmm

Post by Monkeydonkeyratmagic » Fri Feb 16, 2018 9:46 pm

Evening all.

Something strange has happened.

On Wednesday I had to drive from Windsor Berkshire to a chemical plant in Hartlepool for a 3hr site inspection and back again. Near 600 mile round trip.

Didn't use the car yesterday. But today...

The chattering isn't there. The car is honestly purring away now. Was definitely the fly wheel as it was only there with the clutch up.

Should I at all be worried at this point? Like it's either fixed itself or something has snapped off completely eliminating the noise.

If it was only there with the clutch up, it could also have been the release bearing... Nothing to worry about really, it may get worse or not..

My release bearing has good/bad days for the last 66k miles and 9 years.
