The clutch release bearing has made a whizzing noise for the past couple of thousand miles, so I pulled the engine and box.

Firstly, I found out why I have to double de clutch up and down between third and top…I hadn’t noticed before, it has a crash box, so I’ll have to search out a synchro box.

Secondly, and more mystifying is that the bearing has no play in it and is absolutely quiet when I spin it…could it still be worn out?

The learned council of experienced A7 friends will be grateful received and faithfully applied!
