This is not a probability of success.

The first one is a snick/clunk which comes from the back of the car when I change gear, at the point that the clutch is released or bites again.

OPC diagnosed it as front differential with too much play and replaced under warranty but the snick is still there - maybe it's reduced though.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The first one is a snick/clunk which comes from the back of the car when I change gear, at the point that the clutch is released or bites again. It tends to happen if engine speed is not right as the clutch is re-engaged, or if the clutch is released when there's a lot of engine braking happening. OPC diagnosed it as front differential with too much play and replaced under warranty but the snick is still there - maybe it's reduced though. The noise is similar to the rattle (multiple snicks) that you get from the engine when switching off. The second one is a lack of smoothness in the clutch travel - feels like a slight vibration through the pedal as it moves. OPC diagnosed no fault found but I saw this on PCA: http://www.pca.org/tech/tech_qa_question.asp?id={694EB3F8-35BC-4BEF-9457-E53B6CAC3E3C} Neither gremlin seems to be getting any worse so I'm not overly worried... Thanks for any advice IainD (C4S) ps anyone know how to make PCGB member come up on the left?

POST 2Original post

If it says "Non Member" by your name, you need to confirm your Membership Number and Forum Name to Club HQ (email [email removed] ) This should be a one-time fix, and will also allow you access to the member-only areas of the Forum.

POST 3Original post

Iain, I had a long saga on my C4S with a clutch fault which could be rectified by bleeding slave cylinder,it'd then re-occur due to a batch of faulty slave cylinders-occurred in US and GB. They changed it I also had a squeak when pressing,they took out the gearbox too rectify believe linkage needed lubricating? Thats what OPC said. Now first class

POST 4Original post

On my previous car I had a noise from the front diff and was told it was a characteristic of the car, you were lucky to get yours replaced...
