To put it simply, I’m really at the end of my tether now and I’m hoping someone might be able to help with some knowledge or something.
Car - S14a
So let me start from the beginning, I had a clutch bearing kind of noise, wasn’t too loud but it was there and then my car got stuck in 5th gear a couple of times so I replaced the clutch with an ACT performance street clutch and whilst I was at it I upgraded the pivot ball to a nismo one.
When I replaced the clutch and obviously had to drain the gearbox oil, I noticed it was very metallicy, I put new oil in and hoped for the best.
After bedding in the clutch for 800 miles, about double the recommended by ACT I took it on a short motorway trip about 1 hour away and by the end of it I had a very loud almost heavy ticking noise that could be heard from inside and outside the car (can get a video if easier)
I took this as being my gearbox judging by all the metallic oil that came out.
So.. I have now had my gearbox fully rebuilt and have again put in fresh oil (always use genuine Nissan oil btw) and the noise is exactly the same I have had a closer listen under the vehicle tonight and it sounds to be at the back of the gearbox near the prop - alsmot sound like its engaging or trying to when it shouldn’t.
The noise happens -
When idling, stops when clutch is depressed.
Whilst driving in gear, clutch up.
And also when coasting, clutch depressed.
Thank you if you’ve read this far and I would be very grateful for any help.
