Hello

Just put in a new clutch plate, pressure plate and trust being at 200 000km which i am told is normal at that km.The knocking sound go's away when you restart the motor in ideal.Gear 3 has some trouble engaging but not all the time.Please can someone help.

Thank you

It's a bit unclear from your post: did this only begin after you replaced clutch?  If so, it could be a rattle from an internal component such as release bearing or clutch release fork (although these would normally go away when the clutch was depressed.  Was the rubber boot on the bell housing put back correctly seated? Are the hydraulic pipes to the slave cylinder touching the bell housing?
