ok so this problem started last june, and today i finally got the tranny out to take a look. not that the car has driven much in the meantime. i'll do my best to describe this, but it'll prob be kind of tough.
i am getting a nasty chattering sound from what i think is the clutch, because it is really loud when engaging the clutch, and then stays constant as i am driving. its strange though because it only happens when the car gets warmed up; and the hotter the car gets, the louder the sound is. its like a ticking sound, and whatever is hitting does so in a group of 3. tick-tick-tick. damn this is hard to explain...wtf.
anyways, looking at the pressure plate you can see 3 obvious spots of more wear, which i think line up with similar marks on the flywheel. i just don't know what the hell is wrong.
feel free to ask questions, because i know this is the worst description ever. i'm hoping some people on here are a little more familiar with clutch issues
parts i changed: new oem flywheel, centerforce dual friction clutch, muncie throwout bearing. i've only put 4000 miles on this stuff, with about 6-700 break in period
