Paused grinding when off accelerator

[Syndicate]

Okay , findanza fly wheel , spec 3 clutch ( both in good shape , close to new ) . When I let off the gas above 2k I have a grind ..pause ... grind .. pause ..grind .. pause .. grind . It stops when i press the clutch pedal in .

Is this just common clutch clatter? My alignment is WAY off , but this tranny/combo was doing it in my 91 before just not as loud. Any ideas?

Sounds like a throwout bearing issue to me.

ya , thats what it sounded like to me but its a new bearing .. I hate dsms

Is it possible that the retaining clip isnt all the way on, or has worked its way loose? Did you replace it when you changed the clutch? What brand TOB is it?

dang its been awhile , nsk , The clutch was removed and put on again and for it to be happening twice is odd .. I know it has todo with the tranny since it did it on my previous car with this tranny .

It basically happens on hard slow down , i dunno how to describe it besides when the drivetrain slows the car down .. it wont do it if i wasnt going very fast and there is not a load on the drive train * while coming off the gas * dunno if that makes sense .
