Working on a 1972 Spitfire with a later 1500 engine and gearbox (single rail). The clutch makes a metallic noise while idling in neutral. The noise increases with engine RPM. I can stop the noise by applying slight pressure to the clutch pedal. The noise sounds like the release bearing is bouncing/knicking against the pressure plate.
Is the release bearing supposed to ride on the pressure plate? If yes, what keeps it there, the little spring in the slave cylinder? If no, then what holds the release lever back away from the pressure plate? Thanks.
