Odd noise (around clutch?)

[Laecaon]

So got my car back together, just put 30 miles on her. Every time I accelerate there is this sound like a loose bolt banging around in a metal box. Seems like something is loose. No sound when cruising or engine braking. Almost seems proportional to how much throttle I am giving, but that doesnt make sense, so I am going to say with engine RPM. Happens in all gears as well.

 

I guess I should say, brand new clutch/throwout bearing/pilot bearing. Also, my motor and tranny didnt have the best of marriages, they are together, but there was a lot of resistance.

I dont think it is clutch related.

 

I think it is exhuast rubbing the tranny crossmember. Acceleration moves the exhaust and it makes wonderful noises. Fix time!

[Laecaon]

Definitely the problem. Pulled the exhaust a little, and made a bit of clearance. Almost eliminated the sound. Just a little more and it should be good.

 

Wonder what changed from before...

That's the definition of pinging (predetonation).

So Wats the parts that go to be replace

It sounds like the exhaust was close to some part of the car. To fix, get a crowbar and bend the exhaust slightly,

I have heard pinging before, this is not that. Pinging sounds reformed compared to this. I should have said "bolts". I think DanielC is closer to the truth with exhaust being too close.

 

I have not fixed it. Thought I have a few times, but no. I have tried bending the exhaust anywhere it seems close.

 

According to my friend once (driving his car next to mine) it is ridiculously loud.

 

It is not coming out of the engine compartment, but from under the car.
