Gents,

Thanks for the replies.

The new engine had an automatic transmission - so a new bushing was installed. The input shaft of the transmission fits snug and rotates freely.

The noise is gone when the clutch pedal is all the way up, with the transmission in or out of gear. I took a little drive down the driveway this morning and it does not make any noise when the vehicle moves. When the vehicel is moving, and the clutch pedal is pushed in - it growls.

I did not check the alignment of the engine to the transmission. It all fell together when I got it back from the machine shop. The clutch does not seem to slip - it certainly does not smell like it is.

The splines are OK on the input shaft and the TO bearings fit well. The release fork does not contact the bearing - it just pushes it - there should be lots of clearance (right?). The pressure plate fingers are all unbent. I assume that the machine shop cleaned them when they put it on the back of the engine with the clutch housing.

I believe that the clutch disc is in the correct way around.

Thanks for you thoughts on this. I shall get the manual out and see if the transmission is centred on the crankshaft.


Stewart
