Gearbox Bearing Noise

recently installed a heavy duty clutch to my rb25de.

I have been bedding it in by driving it work, in traffic. its pretty harsh on the road.

after one trip to work and back, there is now a bearing noise (metallic grinding noise). its not related to the clutch at all but rather to the speed of the car.

stopped there is no noise, but once you start moving, whether its in neutral or in gear, the noise is there. most noticeable at low speed.

i'm thinking maybe output driveshaft bearing? the noise does not change with gear selection, so im hoping its not anything too important.

i have a race even this weekend. is this problem going to kill my gearbox?

cheers

although i havent heard the noise in ur car it sounds exactly the same as what i have, only started a week ago after a long drive, i have and rb25de box on and rb20det, my mechanic seems to think it isnt a huge issue and is possible something to do with the gear selector. will be interesting to see how urs turns out.

by the way how do i check the gearbox oil level?? i have been looking for a dipstick or something and no luck, could even be low oil?

im having an interesting situation, i dropped the cltuch a while back and peddle got stuck coming out, then could smell the organic face of the clutch burning. Now it feels slightly hard to get into second sometimes. clutch is not slipping, however peddle distance is different. I'm guessing it related to syncho's? Ideas? sorry to hi-jack thread. hame!

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
