punto prob.

If the noise happens when you press the clutch pedal(not moving but engine running ) then the clutch thrust race is noisy, these can sound like a whirr or even a moo ! If the noise is with the clutch up, the car moving, in first gear only, then it is probably a gear box noise.

Hi thanks for the reply.... The noise kinda happens when I begin to move off, so the clutch isn't fully up, but it isn't pushed all the way in either... Not sure, I think I'll take it to the dealers, but kinda afraid as they'll prob charge for new upholstery stating thats the cause of the problem...

My guess is that the clutch release bearing is noisy, my own runabout car has a noisy bearing, it is getting worse but has lasted 6 months from the first time I noticed it.

On your vehicle it will be necessary to remove the gearbox to replace the bearing, it would be normal practice to replace the clutch at the same time, even if it is working ok at present, but obviously get a professional to confirm the diagnosis.
