Changed the clutch cable on the 480 today, but it hasn't cured my problems.
When the car is cold the clutch is fine, nice and light, no slip. after about 15 minutes of driving the pedal goes "jerky", making pulling away in first a bit intersting. I thought it was the usual seizing up cable, but its not. Further investigation, reveals a creaky noise, when the clutch is depressed, coming from the bellhousing. It only does this when it has warmed up, other than this the clutch works fine, its not heavy, and doesn't slip, no gear selection problems. Anyone got any ideas, could it anything to do with the clutch actuating arm?
Cheers in advance.

the bearing, usually with the bonnet up and the engine running you can hear it rattle slightly when the pedal is not pressed, then goes away when it is.
get it sorted when it gets noisier and its deffo the problem.
