Guys-
Need your help on this! Here's the deal:
It seems to be "knocking" (not rattling, alot louder and it is consistent with the engine RPMs). This "knocking" noise seems to only be coming when the clutch pedal is NOT pushed in. When I push the pedal back in, it stops knocking. I've only test it at idle as I haven't drove the car. I'm contemplating if it is my flywheel, but I have doubts it. My flywheel was perfectly fine when I took the tranny out and it hasn't been driven on since. When I slowly release the clutch pedal, the "knocking" sound slowly gets louder and louder until the pedal is fully released. Again, the speed of the "knocking" is consistent with the engine RPMs
Things I have ruled out:
-Throwout Bearing (noise only comes when clutch pedal is released and not on ground)
-Pressure Plate or Disc (The only thing abnormal when I took off the pressure plate and disc is that one of the 3 pins on the flywheel that aligns the pressure plate fell out)
-Pressure plate bolts
-Clutch fork is installed properly and not hitting the pressure plate or anything
-Driveshaft bolts are tight
-Crank Pulley is tight
-Syncros (tranny is apart, everything looks 100%)
Possibilities But not Likely:
-Flywheel (flywheel made 0 noise when I took it out BUT if I try moving the flywheel it moves 1-2" without the crank moving)
-Something with the pressure plate or flywheel?
Possible:
-Bearings or retainer of some sort?
-Something internal of the tranny
I'm stumped on this! Any suggestions? Thanks!
