Weird tapping sound from TKO
 
Don't remember if it did this before as I haven't driven the car in 3 years.

Anyway, rebuilt the engine and rear end and converted to a hydraulic clutch using an American Powertrain setup. If I have the car in neutral and rev it, there's no tapping. But when I drive it, there's a distinct tapping/rattling that gets louder as the rpms increase. Is this the infamous "rocks in a can" sound that I've heard people complain about TKO's having?

I took a short video while driving that shows the sound. I'll try to upload it in a second.

Here's a video of the noise:

Wow, photobucket really compressed the hell out of the sound. It's that really fast tapping.

I've had three TKO's, and none of them sounded like that. I don't know what that is, but it's not normal.

Yeah, I didn't think so. :mad:

I'm guessing it's got something to do with the American Powertrain hydraulic clutch setup. Guess I get to pull the tranny back out. :mad:

Something is rubbing inside your bellhousing.

What makes you say that? There shouldn't be anything rubbing. :(

Do you think maybe low fluid would make that noise? I reeeeeaally don't want to have to pull the tranny back out.:willy:
