Grinding noises coming from drivetrain
Let me explain my situation here.
When I purchased my car, it had a light flywheel and aftermarket clutch installed. It made a grinding noise a bit then. The grinding noise only occurs when the car is in gear, going down the road coasting. It gets louder with speed (although I thought it only did it 1-4 gears, but it does it in all gears). As soon as I push in the clutch or take it out of gear, it stops.
I can barely hear it at 20mph and under. Anything above that it gets worse. 60 mphs is just a PITA to coast while in gear because it sounds like my car is giving itself anal.
I recently had a new clutch installed. This made it get louder... A LOT louder. I'm changing my rear diff and tranny fluid tomorrow, however, I am gauging other peoples opinions as well.
Could it the flywheel bearing? I don't know when it was installed and I drive the car hard (and the previous owner autocrossed it.) I'd hate to pull everything out since it was just apart but if thats what it could be...
