I have a little noise coming from under the hood. I believe it to either be a loose flywheel bolt or noise coming from the input shaft bearing. Here are some things I have noticed about it.
-It sounds like a tiny metal bell ringing
-It is audible when the car is first started, and for at least 5-10 minutes
-after driving a bit it seems go away, or at least I don't notice as much
-I can only hear it when idleing or going very slow (not that loud)
-It goes away when I put the clutch in (why I think it could be isb)
-however when I have heard isb's showing wear, it sounded more like a brushing noise than a bell ringing
-I recently swapped a replacement block in and didn't use any loctite on the flywheel bolts allthough they were torqued to spec.
The fact that it goes away when I put the clutch in makes me think it is the isb, but I figure that it is possible that it could be the flywheel bolt(s) and when the clutch releases it is no longer at a vibration that causes resonance.
Maybe something else in the tranny?
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
