flywheel or crankwalk?

[562DSMGST]

so i really need some help right now, my car started doing this weird thing yesterday where, when im starting off / or as im engaging into the next gear (but most of this happens in 1st gear) it will vibrate very bad and there will be this grinding sound kind of like that of when you continuously try to start a car and the starter hits the flywheel, i searched up and came up with two things , 1 crankwalk , 2 i spun a bearing off of the flywheel, and my speedometer doesnt work and i had read somewhere that the gear might off of fell off, help would be greatly appreciate it.

have some one push in the clutch while you look at the belt side of the crank and see how much end play you have

should i leave the pulleys on, because i was thinking of removing them and trying to mov the crank or trying what you just said

 

[cmfd]

I'd leave them on for now. But its up to you. I'd look in between the harmonic balancer and timing cover to watch the space and how much it moves.

another way i can look for crankwalk , would a compression check help , cause i was recently gettig 180 across the board

 

[cmfd]

No. becuase There is room for the rods to move in the pistons.

How to measure fwd crank end play: Check your FWD for crankwalk

I doubt this is crankwalk. Loosen the clutch slave cylinder so it is not preloading the crank thru the clutch system. then check to see how much the crank pushes back & forth. The spec works out to about the thickness of 1 to 2 sheets of notebook paper so it's not much (.003" min to .007" max).

Did the speedometer stop working at the same time as the grinding noise started? Is there any noise once your foot is off the clutch pedal?

^This needs to be answered.

no the speedometer hasnt been working since i bought the car, i actually got to that today and notice that when removing the broken sensor that the little platic gear that goes inside of the sensor is slightly bend which explains how the sensor broke, now about the shaking , i also noticed one of the bolts that holds the rear motor mount was not there, i replaced it and it stopped the shaking quite considerably , now whenever i would go into reverse it would still shake a lot, so maybe i thought that i needed to bleed out the clutch since it was disengaging too soon, so i did that, and since i havent flushed the transmission since ived owned the car , i did that as well, using 75-90 lucas gear oil, and the car was acting fine as i test drove it near by, i will be driving it on the freeway tonight and let you guys know if the car is back to normal or if im still having issues , thanks guys , without dsmtuners dsm's would not be running

so the problem got worst, reverse vibrates horribly , and clutch pedal for some reason bearly and has any engagement, i tried bleeding it out , and adjusting it, reverse is basically unusable, it will make the whole car horribly ( earthquake status ) it wont help if it give it more gas or not, i recently did my clutch probably about less than 150 miles ago, everything from 1st to 5th gear are okay, car will also make a sound when engaging the clutch , i wouldnt necessarily say like that of the throw out bearing , more like that of oil lifters for some reason , i read something about clutch chattering but, this is just on its own seperate league , reverse will literally shake the engine horribly out if its place

im considering dropping the tranny , input? i feel like finding out whats going on with the flywheel, clutch and throw out bearing

anyone?
