Hey guys. After I did a major engine upgrade this spring, the car
developed a noise whenever I put the clutch in when going to 2nd to 3rd to 4th
gear. It felt like it was not coming from the engine but the clutch. Once
engaged in gear, the vibration went away. When I did the engine mod, I
replaced the clutch. I did nothing to the transmission. When I did the
clutch,
I replaced the rear engine seal and the spigot bushing.
I am now replacing my old rusted frame with a Ratco one. With the engine
out and the transmission off, am trying to figure the noise out. One of
my thoughts that the new clutch was faulty. I had the fly wheel, clutch
plate, and pressure plate checked to make sure they were not out of balance.
All check good. When I explained my problem to the machinist, he suggested
that the bushing could cause that problem. When I checked it in the
flywheel, it moved easily. When I checked it on the trans shaft it was loose.
Several of my club members thought it might be too loose. I order another
one and also order one from a different supplier. Now I checked both
bushing on the trans shaft and they indeed were tighter. I go install it in
the
flywheel, and I have to tap it in. Checking the manual, it says "Fit the
spigot bush into the back of the flywheel ensuring that it is a loose fit".
It is not a loose fit in fact it is a very tight fit.
Has anybody had a similar problem? Any thoughts on the pilot bush being
very tight in the flywheel and not being "loose?
Thanks in advance.
