Noisy clutch release bearing?
Discussion
Hi,
I've had my V8V for 3 weeks now and have noticed that when the car is first run from cold the clutch release bearing (I think!) seems to whine a bit. Once the car has warmed up this seems to stop completely. The noise is a definite whine in line with engine speed that drops to nothing when the clutch is depressed which makes me think it is the clutch release bearing. Is this normal?

tip for reversing, dont need to use the throttle generally, it will reverse itself up a big hill with no throttle etc in fact you need to use the brake more (bit like an auto with creep) ...I think its some kind of anti stall
try just release clutch slow, no throttle ...works in mine anyway !

I found this as well but only when the engine is cold. When the engine is warm it stalls just releasing the clutch with no revs! try just release clutch slow, no throttle ...works in mine anyway !
mmmm...thinking about it, most of my reversing is done from cold - usually when getting out when parked ..although it does work going backwards up steep hills a lot, once you get it going and well practised...I used it a LOT in Norway, single track roads up the side of mountains with bigger stuff coming the other way all the time...seemed to spend 10% of my day reversing LOL
