   Evening guys
   
   Occasionally my car is making a crunching noise for literally secands after accelerating In first gear quite quickly from stand still can feel it in the clutch pedal a tiny bit and makes a wuring noise
   
   Allso car keeps revving weirdly imagain putting ur clutch down whilst going 30 and put ur acceleration foot down and release the clutch it just will rev a bit weird I'm not saying that's what I'm doing but it's the same thing if I put my foot down it takes a second then will just shoot up in the revs I've checked air filter ect all fine i suspect this to be a slipping clutch
   
   but what of the crunching in first gear on acceleration and the odd noise could the wuring be the gear box just for refence the car has done 121k no idea if the clutch or box has been changed in the past
   
   Cheers

   The car holding revs will be the Idle control valve + throttle body, it all just needs a good clean, mine used to hold revs even when I pressed in the clutch, I followed the guide posted below and gave it all a good clean and it's never done it since.

   It's your clutch. If it revs up while not pulling then that's it I'm afraid.

   put the car in fourth with the handbrake on, and bring the clutch up. If it bogs down and stalls chances are the clutch is ok (providing the clutch bite point isnt right at the top the travel here!). If it makes a noise when the clutch is up which then goes away when its down then the release bearing is the most likely culprit - box off job to fix replace it.
   If its crunching when changing gears, first port of call is a gearbox oil change but chances are if its got that bad new gear oil isn't going to save the day..

   Thats just the way gearbox's go... for example mine is currently whining in 3rd, not an issue at the moment, but in a year or so i'll probably have to change it

   Oi. That's not the clutch its the diff. Time for a new gearbox, the clunk/knocking when accelerating gives it away. Been there, done that and had many more brought to me.

    Beam, Gearbox, welding, starter. If your going to pay a garage your look in at a good few quid. Might be cheaper to buy another motor.

    Don't wanna detract from kris Bs work here as I'm sure he does a fine job, however a good used box and fitting with with a couple of mates to help could be a fun thing to do one evening. If you aren't bothered by ratios a used box will set you back about 40 quid and a Tenner in oil

    It's not a bad job, just time consuming.
