85 245 w/m46
I purchased the wagon and drove it for a year or so and the clutch started make a rattling noise when i pressed in the clutch. I assumed the throwout bearing was on its way out so i had a shop replace all of the clutch components, was fine for a few years.
The noise came back- im thinking this time it was because i didnt adjust the clutch properly and i was riding the throwout bearing for too long.
Just installed a new clutch kit last week (pilot bearing, PP, disc, STS cable bushing) and im occasionally getting the same noise. The car has always drove fine, ive never noticed it slipping and my work commute is over 60 miles. No issues other than the noise. The sound doesnt match the engine rpm it sounds more like something is loose and is shaking but only when i push in the clutch. I was thinking maybe its the clutch arm but it seems the pressure of the cable pulling it would keep it tight.
Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Thanks
