Alfa156Melb 9 Report post Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Hey Smaky, Not sure whats going on here.... I noticed a vibration on idle earlier today which is progressively getting louder. I initially thought it may have been a gearbox mount as there's lost of vibration happening down there. But then I noticed that when the selespeed engaged the clutch, the noise disappeared. When it disengages, it comes back. The noise is more like a grinding noise, you can also feel it through the car. I know the sele keeps the clutch released at all times except when moving, and in my case the grinding noise is constant - it only goes away when you apply slight throttle, as the clutch engages, the noise goes away... Clutch release bearing? Edited July 27, 2013 by Alfa156Melb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alfa156Melb 9 Report post Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) If you're talking about the bracket behind the manifold - I cant - mine's missing.. But in my case it was the exhaust flange just in front of the flex.. the bolts had rusted and broken off... by the time I got chance to repair it, the pipe had fallen away and i had a nice straight through system happening :Big Grin: Happy days really.. now, just gotta find myself a GTA now wooohhooo!
