Wondered why noise occurred. Turns out upon disassembly the coil springs in the clutch disc were rubbing the heads of the flywheel attach bolts slightly. Flywheel was made too thin by turning or wrong clutch disc was installed. Hard to determine, everything had just been replaced , probably because being used as mouse hotel. Perhaps only. .030” or so of interference.

Hard to determine without complete disassembly.

Should be able to remove problem by grinding bolts slightly to area of full thickness, removing locking tabs, using lock title. still a pain.

I wonder what the mechanic told the owner when that noise appeared, perhaps the same person?
