My clutch is making a noise like a dry thrust bearing even when just applying the lever

Question edited for clarity (the maker) spelling and English.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks to Honda VF 750 category.

If it is making the noise at lights and not when running down the road, it is likely to be something to do with the clutch, or clutch thrust bearing. So it makes a noise when the clutch lever is pulled in?

opel vectra ,,,,ot sure if their is a automatic adjustment on the pedal ,if so it could be this failing which the cable could be frayed ,would really need to see it to know for sure

Check the following:
- Thrust bearing, clutch.
TEST: Pull up the hand brake. Start the engine and let it at idle speed.
Depress the clutch pedal, put the car in 1st gear, while keeping the clutch pedal depressed. If the gear lever hesitates or produce any abnormal noise, replace the clutch thrust bearing.
- If the gear lever shifts smoothly, clean the throttle body, idle air control valve and perform idle speed learn learn procedure.
- Check the valve clearance.

sounds like a dry thrust bearing ,how many miles has clutch done ? could need replacing

if it was the clutch thrust bearing the noise would be there as soon as you put load on the pedal, so the noise will be coming from the spigot bearing because when you have the clutch pedal down a few inches the input shaft in the gearbox is almost stationary there fore the spigot bearing is then turning around the stationary input shaft causing the noise .when the clutch pedal is released the clutch plate is held tight by the pressure plate holding the input shaft at the same speed as the crankshaft there fore the input shaft and spigot bearing are turning at the same speed and not turning on each other and not making any noise .regards agwbk

The clutch cable actuates an axle with a gear at the other end. This gear bears against step gears on the thrust rod, which pushes against clutch. Make sure there is a circlip at BOTH ends of this axle. When replacing cover, ensure axle is returned fully with handlever out, and spring is in place on actuating fulcrum of the axle. Thrust rod must bear against roller bearing of the clutch pressure plate. Make sure step gears engage at first tooth when operating handlever.

this noise is caused by a noisy clutch throw-out/release bearing, that is the part that presses against the pressure plate and disengages the clutch disk, the transmission must be removed to replace this part, so it is best to replace the clutch assembly at the same time, the labor for both is the same, about 5 hours

Hi I am Vortash it sounds to me that your Thrust bearing on the clutch actuator arm is damaged , it is probably worn and not pushing evenly or that the cable is rusty and in need of repalcement ( hence the squeaking ? ) the cable may even be stretched ..some jettas in this country also had Hydraulic clutches and this would point to a leak ( damaged rubber seals or slave or master cylinder rubbers leak ) or air bubble , or low fluid level not actuating the thrust arm properly
hope this is of help regards Vortah

The clutch has two different types of needle bearings. One flat thrust bearing about 1" diameter and one caged needle bearing. The most likely culprit is the thrust bearing. This is a 5 to 10 dollar bearing and easy to replace if you have an impact driver to loosen the right case cover screws. Drain the oil, remove the right case cover then the clutch end plate. The bearing is there, and will probably come off with the plate.
