Thread: Puma clutch rattle

My 2010 110 has been rattling for 60 000kms now; towed a 2+tonne camper for 40 000kms of that. Pretty sure it's clutch (although I've been told all sorts) as rattle stops as soon as I depress the pedal.
I also have the BAS remap
Speaking of which, the plug in unit won't connect via Bluetooth atm. Anyone know if I should I just plug it into my computer fora reboot?

Is the springs in the clutch plate. You need a new clutch if you don’t want the rattle

That seems to be the consensus here - the service person today told me their plan was to replace the gearbox and that would take a week

Does a new gearbox come with a new clutch? Would be a hassle for it to go back again once they have done the gearbox.

It hasn't left the service department - I have a loan car. So I assume they will not give it back until it is fixed.

I am just glad I am not paying for this (being done under warranty) - as I can just see them replacing the gear box and then having to replace the clutch.

But - they must know what they are doing......

Hi Col. A week to replace a gearbox seems a little excessive. My Td5 had its gearbox replaced under warranty in a day by the dealer that used to be in Zetland area in to be early 2000's. I know pumas are more difficult but a week is a bit rich!

So - the clutch rattle is fixed - it sounds like new.

They found the inner springs of clutch disk broken and outer springs to be very loose. They supplied a new clutch kit, slave cyclinder and thrust bearing.

The Output Shaft and coupling was corroded and had slight play - so that was replaced.

Upon removal of the clutch they found rear main seal leak - so it was replaced.

All coverered under warranty.

This was at it's two year service with 23K on the speedo.........

Must say that they were very good - and I didn't mind the loan car for a week - a Disco Sport that was fun to drive!

I have a 2014 110 here today with a clutch rattle... certainly pretty damn obvious what it is...
