i have a strange noise when i depress the clutch pedal on my 3000S.
my car has been fitted with i think a Ford T9 gearbox (reverse to left and forward).
there is no noise at all with the clutch released, only when i depress the clutch pedal.
the clutch is cable operated. I Wonder if i can move the gaiter where the clutch cable enter the bellhousing and have a look with an Endoscope.confused

the box is 2.8 Capri 5 speed late Gearbox type 9 with bellhousing from 2.5 Granada casting 72GB7505LA.
Supplied by Somar Transtec at Blockeley Glos.
Is there a heavy duty bearing for the box available.
If it was the release bearing it would rattle when clutch is not depressed and no noise when depressed

Clutch noise when depressed fixed, it was the Gearbox touching the Gearbox Mounting.
Wrong Gearbox Mounting had been fitted for 5 speed Gearbox.
You need to fit a special Mounting from Adrian after no problembiggrin
