Clutch Noise

Hi All,
Seems this problem has been around for a while. I picked up my R56 MCS in May 2007. It was A Dec 06 build model and in the first week i noticed the noise. Me being me, i tried to replicate it by treating it rough, but it would only repeat the noise intermittently. So, i just ignored it.

After a while, can't really say how long, it stopped occurring. I think that the rough use of my clutch at the track for a couple of years must have resolved the issue. I have had my MCS R56 for over two years and I have put 53,000 kms on it and its only now that i look like i need a new clutch. So if you are easy on the clutch you might get double that out of it.

The noise never affected the functionality of the clutch at any stage. It'd be interesting to hear from the early posters on this thread to see if the noise has stopped.
