When the car is warm, at idle, is there a significant change in noise when the clutch is depressed? The single mass flywheels might amplify this effect, so might not be as useful for diagnosis, especially since the throwout bearing was replaced.
Time to look at the input shaft/pilot bearing side in my opinion, but please keep in mind that I'm not as experienced or knowledgeable with this car as most on here. You said all suggestions appreciated  Maybe this will bump the thread and get noticed by someone who can help more. Best of luck! |
Do you mean whilst stationary? Clutch in or out when in neutral makes no appreciable difference, maybe very slightly although I would put this down to the sprung clutch, it is barely perceivable.
The only thing you've mentioned that resonates is that this problem is much more noticeable when the car is warm.
Just a thought, if the inner CV joint/s were failing could this be a cause?
I am getting desperate to solve this problem as it affects the drivability enough to become a real nuisance and I have already spent quite a bit of money replacing "the usual suspects" only to find that nothing has changed.
Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated.
