Clutch issue? Odd noise at biting point

[Sjdickso]

This started yesterday.

I noticed after setting off from a standing start at biting point the car makes a noise like the brakes are binding when trying to pull forward with the handbrake on and can feel through the clutch pedal.

Clutch doesn't slip and only does it from standing totally still, if your rolling in traffic doesn't do it, can feel it through clutch pedal and sounds like it comes gearbox area.

Can not hear it in any other gear, just first from standing start.

Any ideas?

Same problem over here with the Zafira. Sounds exactly like that.

Carl sounds very very similar to that. Will try and get a sound clip of it how did you replicate that in the video standing still with handbrake on?

How long has yours been doing it DreiVier?

Cheers Carl, will see if I can get a sound clip not sure if it does it in reverse.

Hmm good question. Got the car around 8 months ago. I don't exactly know how long it is doing it. 1 or 2 years perhaps.

I've been reading a bit. People say it could be the clutch itself or the aux belt?!

the noise is my vid was infact the clutch slave cylinder bearing
it was changed with the new clutch and engine 2 weeks ago it no longer makes that noise it makes a whole different louder noise now due to the twin plate clutch

After going back out in the car today I would say its identical to Carls video.
