I had mentioned in the recent past about a "grinding" noise coming from wha=
t i thought was the clutch. What was happenng was that 'sometimes when pus=
hing in the clutch and engaging the gears I would get a grinding noise----t=
hen it would go away and shifting would be normal---and it never made the n=
oise while moving. today I took the tunnel cover off and I could hear the =
noise better and could pinpoint it. ---and------it seems to be coming from =
the OD unit, not where the pressure plate is. It is a scary sound. I'm no=
w thinking the noise is coming from the OD unit, but have no idea what is c=
ausing the noise. and---I'm wondering why there would be this noise only wh=
en depressing the clutch and engaging the gears---and why sometimes and not=
all the time.could something be misaligned in the drive train? Any other =
ideas would be appreciated.If it is the OD, i'm looking for a OK mechanic i=
n the Pittsburgh area. Healey Surgeons is a bit far.Thankstom
