Strange rattling from tranny

[jspurrell]

Hey all,

Recently got a strange rattling in my 2g when at an auto x event. Sounded like a bearing, I had determined it was the tranny side. The rattle is bad on decel and goes away when you push on the clutch pedal, even just touching the cutch pedal a little makes it go away. I had thought it might have been a faulty TOB as I had that and clutch setup replaced maybe 6000kms ago. Ordered a new TOB and tossed it in, got it back together and same thing. Now I've been leaning towards the springs in the clutch disc, running an ACT sprung street disk. I've ordered a new disk so hoping to bang that in when it gets here. I never really thought to look into this as I thought for sure it was the TOB. Has any had a similar experience? Or think it could be something else? last thing I want is to haul it all again and toss it back together and not fix it

Update:

clutch is out and springs look fine in the disk itself.
Seems to increase a little when I rev in neutral
coasting in neutral it's still there, seems to always be there when clutch pedal is out, it's bad on decel in gear
I think I'm going to pop the end cap off too and have a look.
I've been getting a lot of it could be input shaft bearing as well, it's a shep built tranny I bought used with low miles the, but that doesn't mean it's not an internal bearing.


Any info/thoughts would be great

Cheers,
Jim

Bet you spun one of those tapered roller bearing.

What fluid are you running in that tranny, for it could have been too thin to begin with and a bearing suffered.
