Ok guys I need all the help I can get on this one.
I just replaced my clutch with a competition stage 2 kit with there light weight steel flywheel.
Now im getting this terrible rowling noise like the driveshaft wants to come threw the floor only on decell while in gear and at speed just trying to keep pace.
I have done some reading or seaches and seen alot of complaints on this and no fix and that this is normal. I wont take normal for a answer on this.
I have shock proof in the rear and the transfer case and both yoke bearings feel tight.
Driveshaft U joints are tight and the rear bearing is filled with silicone.
I did not have this noise before the install and its driving me nuts thiking somthng is going to break. (was using the factory flywheel)
I put it in netural at any speed and it goes away. Its only in decel while in gear (off the gas)
Sounds like there is a lot of slop in the drivetrain and things are fighting with each other like the front of the driveshaft is spining slower than the rear.
If it were the flywheel I would be able to put it in neutral with the car at a stop and rev the motor and I would get a vibration. Doesnt make sense.
I have way to much money in the trany and the engine for me just to say its ok.
I dont know if the answer is to have the rear end rebuilt but just need more replys on what you guys have found. Thanks for any of your help and a good reply will get you rep points.
