I searched and read the posting on clutch noises and some sound close to what I am experiencing but not quite.
I resurfaced the flywheel and reattached it to proper specs. I then replaced the old clutch plate, pressure plate, throw out bearing and input shaft bearing.
Now, I finally connected the drive line back to the diff. and tried to drive last night. When I let off the clutch, I can hear what sounds like the clutch plate rubbing against the flywheel. It sounds alot like a guy with 2 symbols (like a marching band) and spinning them against each other.
As I said, I have replaced everything. The only thing that I have done that I consider "out of the ordinary" is I adjusted my clutch linkage. Before I connected the drive shaft, I started the motor and with the clutch pedal depressed the output shaft of the transmission was still turning. I pushed my linkage to make sure that when I depressed the clutch pedal the transmission would not move.
My question is: does this sound familiar to anyone? Could my linkage modification cause the clutch to "chatter"? I am ready to drive this beast but I cant do it until I know that I am not going to ruin it.
Thanks for all the help!!!
Tom
