Have you checked the release bearing?

no not checked it..is there any checks i can do before i have to drop the engine ??

probably a release bearing clip come off ...........also check the clutch arm is retained properly ive had the circlip come off making the clutch arm move all over the place and smashed the release bearing up........you can tell by pulling on the clutch arm (where the cable attaches ) it will be sloppy and not retained

either way drop engine and have a look whats going on :msn4:

Agreed sadly there is no other way to check really than drop the engine and have a look. Sounds like a clip on the realease bearing to me too!

On the positive side; this is a cheap fix
