Identifying Transmission/Clutch Noises

N.RotaryTech · 03-19-2008, 07:55 AM

I think I have that same issue.

I got a new clutch kit (from E-bay), don't remember the name, Nov. 2006.
I haven't dumped it or used any type of hard usage like that since.
And its been daily driven, and I took it to DGRR'07.
For the last month its been making weird noises, let me see if I can describe them.

When I start out, and shifting into 2nd, Ill describe the sound as a "tink."
After that noise I hear a "squeaky squeaky squeaky..." this is at lite throttle, low RPM's, and deceleration. Also on deceleration I hear a lite purring.

Weird eh, its like i have an alien mouse-cat in my bell housing.
