    Clutch issues

    Me again, hope you guys can help Solve another problem.

    Last year I fitted new paddle clutch all was fine. Headgasket failed car was parked for just under a year. All fixed now and I'm driving daily I'm getting a horrible chatter from the bearing. Spoke with the suplier he said its not uncommon and it sounds to him like clatter from the paddle plate. Is there anything I can do to quiet the noise down it's almost a backing track for the engine

    Also getting a rather lot of judder when pulling off is this normal? I have noticed that on the sump where the support bolts it's cracked could this be a culprit

    Thanks

    Paddles generally cause judder on take up. It should not sound noisy though.

    If the engine mountings are worn, any vibration from the the drive train will be further exacerbated.

    Could be the springs on the fiction plate or the release bearing, can be common.
