Every time I start the engine, there seems to be a very loud grinding noise between the starter motor and flywheel. I have since got a new flywheel - XACT, clutch ACT 2600 and new starter motor - from the dealer. Got it all installed and still ahevt the same noise. The tranny was removed to check but no problems. I also have a TRE spec AWD Tranny plus extras for a FWD car. Also have a Quaife LSD. Anybody have the same problem? Is it a problem or just normal. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks.
 
Is the spacer plate still present? I have seen them thrown away during tranny installs.
