rattle/whine from clutch area when cold

[Kenny_s13]

Only on vehicles before chassis no 004260.
Several reports of whining noise- similar to a worn release bearing-coming from the clutch area. It is usually heard immediately after cold start and dissapears shortly afterwards.

Can this be fixed under warranty?

If your car is still within its 3yr manufacturers warranty it is certainly covered. Note it will only be investigated on a complaint basis only. Remember if this is not the problem and the clutch is fine you may be charged for the cost of removing and refitting the gearbox.

I have the same problem with my s14. But since I bought it secondhand and it's from 1995, it doesn't have warranty anymore. How much would it cost to have it fixed? I heard that work on the clutch is very expensive due to long hours needed to disassemble and assemble the whole thing!
