Do clutches come loose or something? ..... yeah

I have a distinct noise coming from my gearbox when the clutch is engaged. When I put my foot on the clutch pedal it stops.

Is it possible that a spring is not as tight as it should be? Whats involved with getting a shop to look into this?

It's inside a separate area to the gears so no fluid needs to be dropped right?

Clutch is not standard, it's a NISMO twin plate.

What is it doing? It's a twin plate, so that's quite possibly your problem. When the clutch is pressed in or at low RMP (around 2k or lower) it rattles/grinds? My twin plate does the same, thought it was release bearing but it didn't make sense cos the release bearing is noise when the clutch is engaged.

And if your clutch came loose... I'd shoot your mechanic. I also doubt you could drive it!

He said noise goes away once he puts foot down so wont be thrust/release bearing ..

Yes, noise goes when clutch is 'disengaged'

I guess I'll just have to book it in and have the gearbox out to see whats wrong.

Found some pretty pictures of bearings here too:

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
