On start up my clutch makes a rubbing noise every time you push in, usally last for around 10min of driving then goes away... the clutch seems to be working as normal... Any ideas????

throw out bearing grease is all turned to dust.

Thanks Dave, off to the mechanics i guess...Is it bad to drive it as it is?? it hard to do?

If it is more of a squeal then it may also be a dry spigot bearing.
Mine does it but I'm ignoring it as it isn't getting any worse.

long term its bad, it will eventually sieze and take out the fingers or the bearing support in which case it will flog the input shaft.

changing it means dropping the box or pulling the donk, which you do depends on how your mechanic is setup or what other mainenance you have to do at the same time.

it can be done at home with the right gear.

while youve got the thing apart dont forget to check the clutch and flywheel.

Thanks guys... i think il take to the mechanics this week.. sounds like it will lead to more trouble down the track

i have learned the hard way replace of it in one go instead of having to take the box out more then once.

i did the bearing , clutch plate and pressure plate

then the flywheel

and then the clutch fork.

do it all at once.
