soper1981 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi All, I noticed a noise when I reversed up a hill and when I had to do a hill start. It is a high pitched whine that in hind sight seems like a clutch issue. It is a 1.8 petrol MK1 facelift Focus with 46k on the clock. Any suggestions welcome!

artscot79 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Reversing up a hill ide be more worried if it didnt whine as said all cars do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soper1981 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 It's not the gearbox whine that you expect in reverse!! It's basically when the clutch is under load.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 with it only happening in reverse without hearing it its very difficult to say mate if it was the clutch ide expect it in all gears so it may be a gearbox whine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'd check the gearbox. A worn lay shaft bearing will make that noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suddste Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 mine did that, I just left it, didnt seem to do much. It's not why i changed the clutch but after my clutch was changed the sound doesnt happen anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
