ok so i have a 1965 el camino 327 with a 4 speed trans the trans started making a super loud sound like banging or metal sound anyway i thought it was the throw out bearing i called a shop they said it was a throw out bearing and i talked to another guy and he said it was the throw out bearing also...

so i tear everything out pull the tranny replace the throw out bearing put everything back together (4 hours later) and it still makes the sound but when you push the clutch in it stops


so whats the problem? its coming from the bell housing the only other thing i can think of is that it needs anew clutch and pressure plate

Are you hearing this sound as you are in the process of shifting gears? In other words, what triggers the sound?

I think those are questions some people will want answered.

if i start the car and have the clutch out and its just sitting there at idle it makes the sound and its loud but if i push the clutch in then it stops or if i put it into gear it stops...anytime the clutch is pushed in it stops when i let out it starts again

that sound is definately the T/O bearing..
is your input shaft clean where the T/O bearing rides?
you need to pull it back apart, clean the shaft then use some emery cloth to clean it/smooth it out

i thought it was clean...its really loud though you can hear it from inside the house

well you get to check it again........
check for burn marks, it is also possible you are getting "****" quality parts
