It has to be worth checking if there is water behind the wading plugs?

I have known people drive a hell of a long way with noisey release bearings. Is's easy to tell a release bearing as it only makes a noise with your foot on the clutch.
The good side of that is that it means it's only on load with your foot on the clutch so even when it's noisey it will last for ages.
I would not panic about pulling the box out just for that.

I would, I had a noisy release bearing on my 90. Jumped into it on morning to go to work, peddle down, into reverse, pulled out of the drive, solid peddle at the top.  :shock:
Knocked it out of reverse and into first, back on the drive and got a lift. Turned out the bearing had collapsed and jammed on the mainshaft!

If you are going to do it then I'd also do the clutch & release fork while your in there.  :wink:

If your gonna get the clutch changed in the future make sure that you up grade/ strengthen the fork
I had mine changed and uprated by http://www.challenger4x4.com/ basd in Farnborough, Hants
Only cost £350 all in and i lost the car for 1 day.

Just out of interest, and I know these things can be a little difficult to describe, but what kind of noise was it?
