Banging with clutch engaged

[93jdmlaser]

Driving home normal nothing out of the ordinary and a banging noise starts, very loud sounds like something smacking together. I pulled over and shut the car off. When I start the car and I have the clutch pushed in it just makes the normal chattering it always made but when I let the clutch back out even in neutral I hear this loud banging. When I would try to let it back in gear it would move but not smooth and make that loud banging noise and I could smell burning clutch.

The car has a twin disc clutch in it. I figured the street driving finally killed it from all the letting it in slow. Got home dropped the tranny and pulled the clutch and flywheel. The clutch and flywheel didnt seem to have anything missing that would make it bang around. Other then alot of dust and being worn everything was there and the TOB looked fine. On the back of the flywheel it looked like it had been rubbing on something because you could see a ring rubbed into it. I mounted the flywheel back on and could not find anything at all that it could have been hitting. Im going back to a normal flywheel and 2900 but Im not sure what this noise is and I dont want to put it all back together and still have it. I really figured on it being the clutch but any other ideas to check would be great. Thanks

Checked the input shaft and its tight still nothing loose there. Gonna put a 2900 and a stock flywheel.

Waiting on the new clutch. Dont mean to keep bumping but anyone who knows about transmissions please chime in here and let me know if it could be the tranny. I dont want to install is to find out its bad. I spent over 2gs on it for a full race so hope to god its not it. Anyone with any ideas please post up.

This just happened to me this morning. I was pulling out of a parking lot onto a main road, and started accelerating. I put it into second gear and kept going, i got on it, hit boost, then the tranny threw the shifter out of second gear into neutral and I heard a loud bang under the hood. Then it kept clanging. I pulled over, and I have the same problem that you have. When its in neutral, clutch disengaged it makes a loud nasty banging noise. When i push the clutch in, the noise goes away..........what the hell is that?
