Hi Guys,
Earlier this month I fitted a new Borg & Beck clutch kit including fork and thrust bearing as well as a new slave cylinder.
All works fine and is still working perfectly, however.........
This afternoon the car has developed a squeak each time the pedal is depressed or released. The squeak lasts as long as the pedal moves. Yes I have tried not to move the pedal but this causes problems when stoping and starting at traffic lights
. Again I have tried not to stop at traffic lights and junctions but this causes even more serious problems which one will reserve for another thread...
Anyhow back to the squeak. When the pedal is depressed, thats engaged and not in a certain state of maind, I can feel a slight juddering, very slight, at the master cylinder. However when under the car the squeak appears to be louder from within the bell housing.
Is it possible that the master cylinder is at fault and the squeak is being amplified within the bellhousing. I am unsure what could indeed squeak in the bellhousing at it was all cleaned out and fresh grease applied to the pivot and around the slidey things that go around the thrust bearing.
I did tie wrap the slave cylinder rod to the fork so is this a possible culprit?
Anyhelp on this would be appreciated, alternatively if you know of a way that you can drive with stopping at traffic lights and junctions, that may be usefull too.
