I've got a chatter noise coming from the bellhousing area that disappears when I put pressure on the clutch pedal.
Unless I'm missing something I can't see a release bearing in my parts catalogue so any ideas on the usual suspects that I can throw at it?
Cheers Rob

Oh was you in water up in wales??
If you parked it up it(not used it for a week) could just be a bit of rust on the main shaft not allowing the clutch plate to float back

While I’m bored...
You can remover the inspection bung & have a look. Can’t remember if you have to remove the selector bracket(think 4 bolts)

I was going to say, no wonder it's chattering if all those bits have fallen out.

Hi - did you ever resolve this issue? Mine just started doing it at the weekend. Its a S3, but my thoughts are the spigot bush or release bearing/fork. Sounds quite a chatter - especially free wheeling or at low speed coming to a halt. Any input I'd appreciate it - gonna try and live with it until weather improves! Dont fancy lying on the barn floor all over again!
