It looks/sounds like the piston cup is rubbing on the actuator arm. Here is a picture of the setup on my Syncro. Notice I have a larger gap between the end of the piston and the arm. Check to see if you still have a "ball" at the end of the lever arm. https://goo.gl/photos/NwThZowFf2gbbXRX6

Good Luck!

Hi all.

I first noticed this noise at the clutch pedal area. I originally thought the noise was coming from the clutch master cylinder or pedal assembly but the noise is much louder at rear.

A short youtube video showing clutch lever operating and noise I hear

https://youtu.be/JpM0NNhEVSU

Is this what worn out cross shaft bushings sound like? Or ?

Clutch, pro rebuilt tranny, slave cylinder all have relatively low miles.

After van is driven a while, clutch may shudder when engaging but I think that's a separate issue.

Thanks.

Neil.
