   everytime i pull off in 1st the car makes a nasty rattling noise. my mate who owns a t plate vtr says its the thrust release bearing on the clutch.is that correct and how much to get fixed? might just put a new clutch in anyway to make it worth the while
   
   help!!!

   as you say it could be the release bearing it could also be the damage in the box

   check your engine mounts, if they are sound, then could be diff, or dodgy driveshaft, try pulling away in second

   Just put some more gearbox oil in and its gone quiter but its still their.
   
   Could it be the bearings in the gearbox ???
   
   I've also jus noticed something that wasnt their yesterday a fuckin leak pissin me off. Its coming from where the gearbox joins to the engine its to dark to be engine oil as i've only recently changed that.
   
   Could these problems be linked ???

    maybe the release bearing has come apart meaning the ball bearings have smashed the gearbox meaning new gearbox

    What is better though ??? A VTS box or VTR box on the 98bhp VTR ???
    
    Will it go though the gears quicker ?? with the VTS box only doing 50 in 2nd as its 60 in 2nd on the VTR box

    Sounds like Gearbox bearing to me. On the spiggot shaft. New box is easier than replacing the bearing.
