Clutch release bearing - how does it work?
This sounds a bit of an obvious question but I affraid I simply aren't certian of the answer - hence the post.
My problem is that I can sometimes hear my clutch release bearing when I set off - which is straight forward enough.
The thing that is strange is that I can some times hear what I believe to be the same noise as I am driving (only sometimes and for longer durations)
So, having bought the Bently manual and the 101 project book I am half convinced that replacing the C/R bearing will solve my problems. My theory (or my understanding) says the C/R bearing is spinning as I am driving and only stops spinning when I press my clutch in - thus releasing pressure form the 'fingers' of the pressure plate and allowing the clutch plate to part from the fly wheel.
If anyone could correct me on my understanding I would be most gratefull - Thanks
Ps. the gearbox is a G50 if it makes any difference.
Thanks
Richard
