noise noise and more noise.

Have a 2001 transporter cab chassis. 250k.Manual.Lately after starting up 1st and second gear engaged leads to a loud noise then disappears in higher gears. Thrust bearing?????????

[Sunny43.5]

When my throw out bearing or thrust bearing went it made loud noises ONLY when the clutch was pushed in to change gears is this the same for you .

[gfh]

No. only noise happens when I let off the clutch in 1st and 2nd gear. It has since been suggested the flywheel is the problem???????

[Sunny43.5]

How long since clutch plate has been done if well worn the rivets could be touching the pressure plate .

Dual mass flywheel. Get it sorted before the thing explodes and destroys the gearbox.
Check the rear engine mount before taking the box out, but I'd still reckon the dual mass.

With a little research it seems that there were DMF's fitted from around 2000 on link here which is interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHapjYefAt4 This ones in a Golf but same thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHapjYefAt4

Yeah bit more loading in the lower gears i suppose, ive had to angle grind a hub off once as it was seized solid and couldnt access the bolts. Is bit clacking? if the answer is anywhere near yes then DMF
