Hi guys, I've been having some strange grinding/clicking noises coming from the driver's side recently. It happens when I step on the gas a little more than half way during first and second gears only. No problems shifting, clutch grabs fine. It happens more often on up hills and less on down hills; basically if i granny it, nothing is wrong, but when i driving it slightly hard, i get a really nasty noise.
I've recently put in an exedy OEM clutch about 3k miles ago, and this has been happening for about 500miles now. Does any one have any ideas? Or have dealt with something similar?
Edit: adding a list of symptoms I suppose.
- The noise is like metal to metal grinding.
- It only happens upon acceleration in lower gears (1 and 2). But not apparent when accelerating very very gently.
- No troubles when accelerating or cruising in higher gear
- It is exaggerated while going uphill and lessened when going downhill.
- There are no power losses, no slipping nor hesitation coming form the transmission.
- The fluids are okay and I changed it very recently just to be sure.
- When at a standstill idling, there are no abnormal noises with clutch in and clutch out (neutral gear).
- There are no differences with me turning left, right, or straight.
- I have tried to blip in neutral with clutch engaged (foot off pedal). and no such noise
