Feels like it's a box out affair now.

Nearly feels like the throw out bearing has been installed backwards (hence the noise you've mentioned). A single disc clutch should not make any rattling noises at all.

Could be onto something there

Thank you for all the help guys, since I backed the pedal stopper off a bit and made sure there was a bit of free play at the top and it's driving a lot smoother and gears are selecting without hassle. It must have been more adjustment needed like a few suggested. After the clutch has bedded in a bit I'll check it again. 

I sent the videos with the sound to ACS and they said this:

"What you are experiencing is harmonic noise and nothing to do with the bearing. The Australian engineers have said it sounds like gear noise/gearshift rattle
This can happen  on some vehicles and depends on the condition of everything else. There may  be some worn  bushes in the linkage which could be cured by replacing them or some gear rattle which may be 'dampened' with some tougher gearbox oil.

well, massive thumbs up to ACS for taking the time and getting the right people to look/listen to it. Goes to show local support is worth it's weight when you have an issue.

Yes mate I'm happy with their response to my queries, it's difficult to diagnose obviously without seeing the car in person. They allowed me to get in contact to pass onto engineers.

It made sense to me afterwards to take the clutch pedal pin out, let it take the pressure off the rod which moved out slightly, and adjust from there, with a bit of play in the pedal before engagement. 

Obviously I'm going to go normally until everything is bedded in, I treat all my cars with respect anyway. 

Cheers lads, this forum is a good community, hardly anyone replies in the UK forums like they used to do. 

It's much appreciated

Everyone too busy going to get pissed at the pubs and hitting music festivals.

My Aussie mates living there doing just that lol.

Yeah lol probably. 

Can I just ask if anyone knows obviously. 

With the adjustment on the pedal rod maxxed out, will it cause any problems with anything? (picture on page 1)

I made sure the pedal had a bit of play before it moved the rod also. 

I suppose I could go back a bit and see if the gears still change smoothly, 

What do you reckon?

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
