[EN4ever]

strange knocking sound any ideas plz?->had a new clutch fitted last friday.ever since i have had a knocking/popping sound coming from the centre to rear of the car.only seems to happen if i drop down a gear and let the clutch out(mainly from 3rd to 2nd).one other thing that happens is when im reversing it feels like ive got the handbrake on,but this has only happend 2-3 times.im going to take back to garage tomorrow but just wanted to know if anyone (The SIDC Muppet-O-Tron has corrected your lazy use of the English language.

took it back today and the knocking was a loose gearbox,so thats sorted now but the sensation of the brakes being on when pulling away and reverseing is getting worse.the garage said its my master cylinder but when you pull away and its seized if you take out of gear and let clutch out it frees up without touching the brakes.i really dont think its brakes as it was fine before the clutch change.i shall take it back again tommorrow do you think im being fobbed off or is it a coincidence like the garage says?

Might be worth getting a second opinion, especially as it's all happened since the clutch change. If not take it back, and make sure all the other bolts are tight, and that the gearbox has the right oil level, sounds silly, but you never know.

cheers,was going to ask for 2nd opnion suggestions on where to take but after searching and trawling through a few forums,i think i found the problem the.the car is fitted with a hill start/holder thing which is connected to the clutch and engages the brakes to stop you rolling back or forwad.apparently if the car is at more than a 3 degree angle its engaged.never even noticed i had this on the car the gargage didnt know about it either so hopefully now they know what and where it is they can adjust it and sort it out(apparently tho its a ******* to set up)

Hope its not too much of a job. How annoying though, especialy when you didnt know a bout the hill climb gizmo. Cant imagine what was going through your head when all that was going on, makes you want to chuck the towl in.
