Maybe the movement/sound is coming from the engine compartment caused by
movement there. Did you replace front motor mounts? Air filter touching
wheel wells when engine torques to that side? Exhaust system making contact
somewhere you haven't looked? Bill in Oregon

Subject: [Spridgets] Metal contact sound through trans tunnel
As some of you may remember, I lost the first gear in the ribcase on the
MKII
just before Elkhart Lake. I bought a used one and had to rebuild that one as
well (Thanks to Gerard, Ed and Peter C that is). Now the trans shifts super
smooth (all new internal wear parts), but after the trans wams up, I get
what
sounds and feels like a metal on metal contact that comes and goes under
load
ONLY in third and fourth. I've looked down the tunnel, and there's nothing
within 2" of the tunnel itself (kind of thought that it might be the zerc).
So
there's nothing near the tunnel to make contact, the only other thing that I
can think of is the starter (Isuzu GR type) which sits very close to the
passenger's foot well. but why just in 3 and 4, when I push everything
harder
in 1 & 2?BTW, all mounts are new, all mounts are tightly bolted down. Open
to
any suggestions, it runs very well, except for this which just makes me
think
I'm going to damage something (Again) when it occurs.
