Ok..its a very very heavy duty clutch unit..diaphram is silly ..good leg excersize!
When cold all is fine..silent and smooth.but once hot it creaks ..its real loud.been like this for ages.but now its getting annoying..
U can feel it though the pedal even..still works fine though and have no reason to expect it will die.
Not sure why it creaks when hot.and hense how to cure..

Ideas?thanks..

Oh..range rover classic.9.5 inch plate.carbon fibre/kevlar..diaphram and plate rated at min450lb/ft torque..cant remember pressure of diapgram.but its abit extreme.
 
are you thinking it is the hydraulics or the clutch itself?
 
well i hoping its from hyraulics,butb i cant tell,been under car with someonec operating pedal and you cant tell where it coming from,slave or diaphram..but its damn noisy when hot..perfect when cold...

operation of clutch is however not effected...though..PREHAPS..its harder to engage gears when hot..

think best bet is to swap out slave and see if it sorts it..?

Clutch release arm pivot?
 
well...took out slave,was weeping..excellent..so got me spare out boot fitted..lubbed pivot and thrust bearing at same time...(have inspection hole in bell housing)

not driven her yet,but have a good feeling..
 
result!

now who would have though a slighty leaky slave cylinder could cause such a racket??
 
I going for slave as wss leaking..and i only squirted wd on pivot..
If pivot will soon start to creak again..it aint the arm as thats the sod off cast one.
