Alright so i thought i'd try my luck over this side of the forum.
I have just recently installed a brand new and upgraded gearbox, clutch and flywheel. Along with these parts there is a brand new rear main seal, throw out bearing, pivot ball, ss clutch lines. Brand new amsoil gear oil and penrite clutch fluid.
Basically what's happening is when i press the clutch in to change gear there is a sort of rubbing/gurgle sound which can slightly be felt through the pedal but more so you can hear it. If you can imagine the clutch spinning and rubbing against something that's what it's like.
The clutch is a basic Southbend (exedy) and i have driven 500km on all this new gear. Just wondering, has anyone heard of an issue like this happening with brand new parts? Could it be a clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder? i'm not sure if any of these were inspected when the job was done.
Just last week i put the car back up on the hoist at the workshop that did the job for me and we did some troubleshooting. i was in the car, going through the gears in the air with the car on. What happens is the higher the gear you go, there is a awful rattle coming from the gearbox. Directly inside the gearbox too. My mech that did the job says he's never heard of this happening with a car before especially with brand new parts.
Just thought i'd add that in there, we can't seem to work out what the problem could be..
thanks
