Thrust bearing

[puglove]

so the other day the hdi all of a sudden developed a whine , loud ish. with in the last 50 mile its got dramatically worse, a lot louder, now feels kind of grindy.

when reving up to 375-450 rpm hitting the clutch and shifting quickly you get a nasty very load grinding/rattle

Also when you press the clutch in on idle you get a dull rattle again.

Im thinking this has to be the thrust bearing? any one had one go in a hdi before ? similar symptoms?

Personaly never heard/seen this come up on a hdi seems un common
