So yesterday (10/5/12) I changed my clutch and today (10/5/12) car started making some loud noise like some LOUD rattling noise... coming from the transmission to engine junction... I slowly drove it home and lifted it up...

I was thinking it was the clutch folk loose in there.. but the car was driving normal just a big loud rattling noise... when the car is idling there no noise.. after the car goes up to 2k the rattle noise starts... if im driving when the car is accelerating it doesnt make sounds.. but when I let go the gas it start to do it loudly...

lift it up home and saw the lower starter bolt loose... so I tight it up again.. the noise was reduced but still there... adjusted the upper one and noise still there... so I said to my self its the starter.. took it all the way out and put it back in and the noise kept going.. so i removed the whole starter... clutch started the car but the noise was there even with the starter out of the car... I just parked the car and left it there.. dont really wanna turn it on or even look at it.. im REALLY disappointed with everything... first head.. then clutch and now this... its draining my pocket and nothing goes right...

no video since im afraid to turn on the car... and dont wanna look at it... im just gonna park it till the spark comes back to me

No, I know what a clutch buzz is... noise is only when I accelerate the car.. with or without clutch engaged..

 

Lower rpm only im assuming? Clutch buzz

is not clutch buzz.. I know what clutch buzz is... im taking the tranny tomorrow anyways so.. lets see what i find there

 

Did you grease the entire inside lip/valley of the throwout bearing? To me it sounds like you didn't grease something properly when doing the clutch job.

 

ok.. a better description of the noise... sounds like the clutch folks is grinding against the pressure plate.. OR the flywheel teeth are grinding against the tranny housing... maybe loose flywheel? or pressure plate? IM 100% SURE everything was torqued the right way.. but who knows.. tomorrow is the day

 

did you put the circular plate behind the flywheel bolts?

 

How loud is it? Amd does it happen at all times of acceleration?

Yes I did... thing is.. the car was running without issues nor noises adn all of the sudden it started doing that...

another thing I remember when the car started the first time it made a big ''CLANK'' noise... but after that it stopped... but after few more starts, start it making it little by little but louder then this grinding noise started...

maybe a starter installed wrong bent the flywheel? im taking everything out anyways to inspect torque and everything...


its loud enough to be scared off...
