I finally got the car on the road and have a problem with a load “chattering†sound that appears to be coming from the clutch area staring around 2,900 rpm. It gets far to noisy to suit me above 3,200 so I have been shifting around 2,600 or so. Everything works great below 2,700.
I going to be tearing it down soon and I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas what to look for? I’m thinking maybe a bad throw out bearing or loose pivot arm.
Everything is new, resurfaced flywheel, clutch. Throw out bearing, and pressure plate.
My set up is: Ram street strip clutch connected to a T5 trans using a cable pull clutch pedal setup.
While I’m at it I have another question. I’m running an open 8†rear end with an impossible 2.9 ratio that I’m going to be changing it looks like sooner that later. Around town I can barely get it out of 3rd gear. 40 mph is around 2,000 rpm and if I go to 4th I back down to around 1,500 rpm and can barely keep it up to speed. Forget it on the highway. I have to be going over 70 to get it over 2,000.
I’m going to change the gears and I’m wondering what ratio I should be looking at. Yes it will be a limited slip rear.
It’s going to be headed to the drag strip as often as I can and I’m not looking at driving fast on to highway.
I’m thinking somewhere around 3.85 or 4.10’s
Thanks for any input
