Hi

I am having a problem with my IS200 that when i take my foot off the clutch there is a strange noise coming from the gearbox. If i put my foot on the clutch it stops!!

Can anyone tell me what this is and what i will need to stop this from happening?

Can u give any description what kind of noise is it ?

I can't tell you what it was, but I had the exact same thing on my IS200 after I'd had it for two years. Leicester noticed it at a service and had it back in again to change some parts in the gearbox. Just before the service, there was a trip up the M6 where I couldn't get it into 6th gear.

sounds like thrust bearing

Agreed... that is the thrust bearing...

You may as well replace the whole clutch rather than just a bearing... save more labour costs down the line..

Yup, good advice. Definately sounds like the thrust bearing.
