Well.. I don't really know whats going on and I'll be inspecting everything when I have some free time but here are my symptoms:
- I've recently felt a vibration or "pulsing" affect when I press on the clutch pedal. The car shifts fine and the clutch disengages properly so thats not a problem.
- However when driving OR in neutral the engine has a rattling sound. (very similar to a bolt in the exhaust sound)
- I used a mechanics stethoscope and determined it is coming from inside the bell housing of the transmission. so that part is narrowed down.
- the greater the engine RPM the noisier it gets.
- the clutch is not slipping
- the noise does not increase or decrease when the pedal is engaged, so the throwout bearing must be fine
- clutch/pressure plate has 15,000 miles on it. ACT stage II
I think I've done my best trying to describe everything.
Any ideas or thoughts?!
