spen Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 it only had a new clutch fitted in Feb 2015 Correctly? Good quality and adjusted properly? Not slipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsp Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 fitted by a dealer and they where the factory up dated plates, I cant feel it slipping I like the biting point right at the end of the lever action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Take the chain off and start it up and see if you get the whine in 2nd without any load Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsp Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 canada280i I ran it yesterday on the paddock stand with no load and there was no noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 This is strange then as you would think that if it was a shaft bearing it would appear in more than one gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canada280i Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Assume that is the noise with it not in any gear? Is your coolant clear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsp Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 No that's with it in second gear and the clutch on and off biting point, the coolant level was ok and looked ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsp Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 wouldnt the waterpump do it all the time ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Does the pump cover get very hot? This is why I asked about coolant Color as I had an issue once with the plastic pump impeller rubbing on the pump case which made a funny noise, and eventually ruined the pump.mperhaps the noise is more apparent at a certain revolution range such as produced by second gear. To correct this I noticed that there was no gasket on the 300 between the casing and waterpump although one was listed in the parts book. I made a thin one from gasket material (because of the wear I ultimately replaced the pump as well as the fins had worn down) and the issue was totally solved.

canada280i Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 When I say hot I mean very hot, hotter than would ba caused by hot coolant, if it is rubbing it will get hot very quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsp Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Right I've just emptied out the coolant and there was no bitsin it from the drain hole, I've taken the water pump off but cant seem to get the circip off to have alook at the impella ?
