Re: Nasty engine noise, that goes when clutch pulled in ?!?!
J Also noted that the gear cluster floats backwards and forwards on the input shaft by about .4mm; this is with either both casings put together, or just looking at it with the flywheel side taken off. Maybe this bit of floating is correct and required??!! Both the bearing and the needle rollers we...

Re: Nasty engine noise, that goes when clutch pulled in ?!?!
That is normally a drive bearing thats gone. As you load the clutch it presses on the bearing losing the rattle. Out of curiosity, same symptoms but on a smallie?? Made it to IOW and back no probs, but rattle is horrible :| clutch on smallie has its own bearing as clutch is not directly on the cran...

Re: Nasty engine noise, that goes when clutch pulled in ?!?!
As the subject line states, built up a T5 engine for a friend, where the gearbox had broke, so replaced the cluster and loose gears for a 2nd hand set (which looked in very good condition), but it's got this weird clunking noise on tickover in neutral, which goes away when I pull the clutch in?!?! ...

Re: will T5 engine slide straight into a GL frame???
might need to remove carb and box to get engine in, then put box and carb back on...markauk wrote:does anyone know if this is a straight swap ??
also might need longer spacer at top of rear shock, PX engines used the longest spacer.
