Clutch problems

[ohms]

Hi all,
 
started the rex up today and have noticed that I\'m getting a noise from the clutch. it\'s only when the cltch is engaged, but goes away when I put my foot on the pedal. Am assuming it\'s the release bearing on the way out, but on other cars I\'ve owned the symptoms of release bearing failure seem to be the other way round.
 
thoughts and opinions?
 
Thanks chaps

If you have a stock clutch same page you can buy just the plates.

Or ther is ADL

Yep release bearing is dead,

Bit of advise for you that may help,

Only change just a the center plate if you are 100% sure that the pressure plate fingers are O/K and there is no distortion or discoloration to the friction face, besides buying the bits normally works out to be very little difference price wise to a complete clutch assembly.
