Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me as I'm lost. I parked my vehicle up, no issues when I left and returned to it two weeks later; to find it starts fine and still selects gears, but when clutch is pressed all the way in it's almost as if something is spinning behind it knock Ng the pedal up and down. Any ideas as to what it could be? I would be grateful. Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

Is there any change when you release and press the clutch pedal? Does the clutch seem to be working properly?

There is a release bearing which is part of the clutch system that can make noise when they start to fail.

Is it loud enough for you to record and upload for me to hear?

Let me know. Also, please confirm the model and engine size.

Take care,

Joe
