Replaced everything in my clutch system except the master cylinder and now if I am not on the clutch pedal while the engine is on there is a rattling sound sometimes, the rattling speeds up with the RPM. If I press the clutch pedal in even a half of an inch the sound goes away. I can feel the rattling on the clutch pedal if my foot is resting on the pedal.

What do you guys think??
 
Did you loctite your flywheel? It is very important!!! I messed up a Fidanza by not loctiting the bolts on it. Mine rattled like a bi*** when it was loose. It got louder as it got looser too. It was weird though, no rattle when I got on it, just when I let off.
 
the flywheel is torqued to spec with red loctite on the threads, and the pressure plate is torqued to 26 which is what was recommended by a tech from ACT.
 
eithe throwot bearing or flywheel.

You can easily tell by how loud and how fightening it sounds. If the sound is real low and sounds harmless than its the TOB and u have nothing to worry bout but a little noise here and there. If its the flywheel, youll wonder right away what the hell you just broke and if its the bottom end or not....LOL. Believe me for some reason its happened twice to me that the flywheel just came loose. I think its cause of the vibrations from the motor due to me not having balance shafts.
 
ok, everyone keeps talking about greasing the TOB. howq do you grease a sealed bearing??
