G'day Terry, I'm not familair with the 6 speed so I can't be exact, but I'd put my money on your release bearing (throw out bearing) or your pilot (spigot) bearing/bush. They're the usual items that cause the noise you describe with the clutch pedal depressed.

Not a very expensive fix, although; it does involve pulling the box out, might be a good time for a nice heavy duty clutch and fluid change if your a little rough with it .

Cheers

Jake..

Thanks mate.. already has a heavy duty clutch. damn I must be a beast with my car LOL... hmmm ok will have to get it checked out then hey..

haha well you don't buy an SS 6 speed for Sunday drives do you

I think you should get it checked out just to be sure, the fact that the noise is only there with the clutch depressed is a good sign.

G'luck with it Terry
