[TR] any suggestions?

Hi Andrew,
I don't think I would drive it as you have a lot of spinning steel there 
right at your feet.
Does the sound change when you push the clutch in?
It kind of sounds like the throwout bearing to me.
You just can't check these parts enough before you put it all together.
Good Luck!
Dave Connitt
