Dave, Ok, I got some excellent data on the drive home, which I really hope will help rather confuse things more: If I drive along in 2nd gear, and then put the clutch in and shift into first, then slowly let the clutch out, I can hear the noise, starting at a high frequency and *slowing down* at the same time as the engine *speeds up*. So, doesn't this mean that the noise is linked to the speed of the shaft in the tranny that goes to the clutch? Also, I found that if I idle the car in neutral with the clutch out, and gently push the gear shift towards any gear, I hear a rhythmic noise very similar in sound and frequncy to the noise in question. Not sure if this is actually the same thing though... John -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
