video 2


any ideas? its not there when the car is cold... once it warms up the sound starts up.. most pronounced at lower rpm's (engine probably too loud after 3k)

sound disappears when i step down on the clutch... will sometimes be there at idle (video 1)

ha yea I had someone help me just in case. However its really quite simple, it will make more sense when you pull the old one out. Follow those directions and you will have zero issues.
