Hi,
Anyone here with a manual transmission? I have now ~1600 miles on the clock and pretty much from the start I've noticed a noise from the clutch on some occasions. It's more noticeable when cold but can also be heard faintly after the clutch has warmed up. The noise only occurs when pulling away with 1st or reverse gear. No problems when changing the gear.
A bit hard to describe but it's a kind of rubbing sound in a series "tu-tu-tu-tu-tu" when the clutch starts to bite properly. Easier to hear if pulling away from a slope and have to give it more gas. There are no vibrations etc. Just the noise. I can reproduce the sound quite easily by slightly slipping clutch while the hand brake is on. No extra noises from the clutch when pressing it standstill or while driving.
Another thing is a clicking noise from the clutch pedal itself. Sounds like the switch that is sensing whether the pedal is being pressed. Anyone else noticed this. I don't think this was present from the beginning, so anyone tried to lubricate the parts?
