Hey guys, I just got my head gasket replaced and on the way home I noticed a strange sound when I push the clutch in and only when I push the clutch in for shifting gears etc. I do know that they removed the whole engine because the cylinder head was warped and needed to go to the machine shop. When I push the clutch in, it gives me a skipping type of noise of like metal knocking or rubbing against another piece of medal. Almost like when brake rotors make contact with the calipers with no pads present. While cruising the sound is non existent. Seems to only make sound when I push the clutch in.
The car drives fine despite the sound though. I'm planning to take it back to the shop that reassembled the car but I wanted to see if anyone could tell me what would cause this. Is there a chance they messed up my clutch components when reconnecting the engine to the transmission? I've only put 20k miles on this clutch and the sound was not present until the car hit this shop. Any help would be great!
