Drivetrain rubbing/grinding noise...solved?
I've had this f*cking annoying sound in my drivetrain lately, came about a few months after a new clutch was installed. Confusion as to whether its a HD organic sports or OEM replacement, invoice contradicts itself. Happens only under the following conditions:
* in gear, 0% throttle & cruising along...like slowing for a set of lights before engaging clutch. * only when car is warm...assuming means the gearbox oil is warm too. * loudest at 2-3000rpm. Best way to describe the noise is with this video...when you listen to it you will understand why I am fed up with this noise & want it fixed!!!!!!11ntyOMGBBQRIBS And another video... (~1:25>1:40 is the noise) According to this thread - http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1097682 - the noise is as a result of lightened flywheel with a relatively new clutch, something about there not being enough weight to stop something spinning or whatever. My questions: 1. Does an 01-02GT come stock with a lightened flywheel? 2. Would a lightened flywheel be causing a slight squeal/shudder when driving around parking lots & a harsh on/off throttle response when crawling along at low speeds/rpm? 3. Can I get a heavier flywheel relatively easy & what are the drawbacks v. lightened? Slight loss of power? |

It sounds like gear chatter.
1. But the Foz GT doesnt come with a light weight flywheel as standard. 2. No to the squeal. Yes to the harsher on/off throttle at low rpm 3. No loss of power/torque when going to a heavier flywheel. Only slight loss of throttle response.

Yeah there's plenty of name for it floating around, 'grubba grubba' is the most entertaining.
I can only assume that when the clutch was done the workshop installed a pre-machined lightened flywheel as opposed to the heavier one thats meant to go on. Explains the harsh on/off throttle around carparks & touchiness thats only been happening since it was done. Will give the workshop a call Monday. Cheers! |

Where/whats a good replacement if the workshop doesn't come to the party? OEM?

doesn't really sound like a clutch type noise, like Tuna said it sounds like bearings, need to get it on a hoist and simulate the conditions to pinpoint it.

Nah I'm 99.999% sure it's right, none of the bearing noises match & I've already looked down that path with no success.

I'd be checking the diffs, even though it sounds like the gearbox, the rear diff reverberates the sound
