Technical Noisy thrust bearing

[angel]

Just looking at a punto, which states it has a noisy thrust bearing, is this something to do with the clutch?

Is it expensive to fix?

Cheers

Basically needs a new clutch. Cost depends on what model punto it is.

Just discussing with my Dad who feels it maybe just a new thrust bearing not full clutch if its not slipping?

If you've got the gearbox off then you'd be silly not to put a new clutch on...

Clutch kit £39.99 from shop4parts

Not bought it yet, just discussing cost etc, so not got gearbox off

thanks

it will cost you £150 for a garage to fix it, you always replace the full clutch, never just the bearing

Clutch bearing is a gearbox off job.

If the bearing is noisy...its probably not that bad. You could probably run it with few problems till the full clutch system wears out. Then youde replace the lot as its sensible to whilst the box is off.

Bearing on its own is about £15 and the kit is around £30-50

Dont think that is wise IMO as while you have the gearbox out it would be silly NOT replacing the whole clutch assembly wouldnt want to pay the labour charge TWICE and if you dont get the bearing sorted they have a habbit of going just when you dont want them to.
