I need input from anyone who has had similar issues, or has heard of something similar. I just had a pro mechanic install one of Tick Performance's top of the line (most expensive) 6 sp manual transmissions, and a twin disc street slayer clutch, and now there's a loud noise that occurs in 1st thru 4th gears, but only during acceleration, and only between 1700 to 2,100 RPM.
It's a loud vibration noise which can also be felt through the shifter knob. I've put 250 miles on the car so far since the work was done. It began to occur as soon as it was driven off of the lift and down the street once the work was completed, and it hasn't ceased. The correct clearence spec for the clutch was observed, and a new pilot bearing and slave cylinder was also installed.
I just don't know whether this is the clutch assembly or the new transmission making this noise. There's also a slight rattle in nuetral while the engine is idling, but it isn't very loud, so I can live with that.
Any ideas anyone? And has anyone had a simililar result with these products? Feel free to send me a PM if you would rather do so. I'll be calling tick performance, but I'm anticipating that they will want to blame it on the clutch, and that the clutch retailer will want to blame this on the transmission. So before I talk to either one, I wanted to get some input from you guys.
A friend of mine is going to put the car up on the lift for me tomorrow, and we're going to run it to produce the noise to see if we can pinpoint it with a stethascope.
NOTE: Other than the loud noise which is occuring from 1900-2100 RPM without fail, the street slayer clutch works flawlessly. The clutch pedal feel is just slightly stiffer than stock, and the clutch has NOT exibited any chatter at all from the first minute I drove the car. And even in stop and go traffic, it's a pleasure to drive. No problems there. And the Tick performance transmission, shifts fine. It's simply this loud vibration noise that is completely unacceptable, and that is the topic of this thread. I need all the assistance I can get to narrow down which part is causing this.
