Hey guys I have a problem I just recently replaced my clutch with a button clutch since I replaced it every nown and then I can hear a noise coming from the bell housing area which sounds like clutch rubbing on flywheel. Is this just it bedding in or is it a problem oh and sometimes when it's not rubbing I can smell burning clutch however the old clutch I did burn out

Did you grease the spigot bush. Also did you run in your clutch.

ok guys seems as though its my thrust bearing it has gotten worse however the clutch smell has gone clutch doesnt slip vibrate etc. my mate s a mechanic and he said it sounds like thrust however it seems to be more constant now and when i put foot on clutch is gets a little louder. so id say its either thrust or spigot.
