2G noise coming from trans

[mattspyder]

I've got a weird rattle type noise coming from the trans whenever I let off the clutch. It also gets worse in 3-5 gears. I just bolted the Trans on the block not that long ago and put a new TOB in it when I dropped the engine in. Could it be a bad TOB. It wasn't a OEM one

it could be the TOB or a bearing in the transmission. best bet is to put a oen TOB in and see if it goes away .

also before you put a new tob check to see if there are grooves on the pressure plate where the tob sits. ive seen that turn out to be the cause of noise once.

I'm gonna go with bad bearing. They have VERY similar noises to a bad TOB, seeing as their both ... bearings.

Only one way to tell, pull the transmission and manually spin the input shaft with your hand in neutral and in the gears, check for in and out endplay in the shaft as well. That would be a big indicator if it was a bad bearing.

I've also seen the slave cylinder rod rub on the clutch fork and make a squeaky noise with clutch out, boy did that make me feel stupid when I figured out what that was, course I just threw some mud on it to fix that. Haha.

i'll be pulling the motor this weekend to check her out. I plan on swapping the motor into my 2g spyder since its summer. I was the drop top, I miss that car. I haven't had it running in over 3 years.
