What would this noise be.

SSteady98 · June 17th, 2011, 07:38 PM

So, about three months ago, I had to replace the clutch in my car. its got about 2k on it since then, and its an awesome clutch. about 3 weeks ago though, a noise started, well, making a noise. it only starts to make it when the cars been on for a while, and it also only happens in 2nd gear. Its like a slight rattle/loose noise in between the motor and transmission. My dad thought that it was the bottom end making it, but i am thinking that now that it shifts harder, the transmissions taking a tougher toll on it. Any ideas? maybe i am not describing it enough.

a video would go a long way here.

Green_6er · June 17th, 2011, 08:11 PM

if you could take a video it would be great. although the way you describe it, sounds like you are losing 2nd gear or the clutch you put in was installed incorrectly and causing extra stress on the transmission.

TOB?

Loki · June 17th, 2011, 09:54 PM

I always think TOB first....What kind of clutch was it? Duralast(I think) clutches are known for weak TOB's

Never use an aftermarket TOB. Always get a Ford OEM TOB

How loud is this noise? Is it something a trained ear must listen for or would any 5 year old off the school yard notice and ask about it?

Thanks,

Green_6er · June 17th, 2011, 10:45 PM

Is it like a ticking? My TOB is doing that because its about to go out :/.

haha i have divorced duals with flows, and the TOB is louder than my exhaust

RedDevilGT · June 17th, 2011, 11:29 PM

Yeah you might wanna change that lol. I waited until it was too late to change mine and it went out while I was shifting and damn was it loud.

Lol it's not too bad

Green_6er · June 17th, 2011, 11:59 PM

ehh, hopefully i will have my 1966 mustang running so i dont have to push it out of the garage and i can just drive it out. but doing on the floor with jack stand and floor jacks still isn't going to be fun.

Loki · June 18th, 2011, 12:28 AM

That's how I did my entire engine swap -____- Still more than my grandfather had in his days, so its not so bad. Lol

Green_6er · June 18th, 2011, 12:33 AM

haha oh trust me, i have done my share of engine swaps with just a cherry picker (engine hoist). Not too difficult, just takes a while lol and believe me i would kill to have a lift XD.

Loki · June 18th, 2011, 01:33 AM

Me too! & believe it or not, you can buy some cheap ones for not much money....But too much money for me. lol

SSteady98 · June 25th, 2011, 11:28 AM

sorry about the wait guys, forgot i even posted this. way too busy with work haha.

there's also a VERY distinct noise coming from my rear end now. When I'm slowing down, it sounds like every rotation the drive goes through it makes it. its from the rear, and its like a knock. and it was a F1 clutch. It is already making the squeal noise if i dont let up off the clutch all the way, so it may well be the tob. fml. i just replaced all this shit not too long ago.
