Default Textralia Question

Anyone that runs the Textralia OZ700 clutch.....do you have an increased amount of noise coming from the shifter area??
Mine disappears when the clutch peddle is depressed but is extremely noisy at idle. Car shifts fine and makes no noise while driving down the road.

Ok thanks, mine sounds like someone shaking rocks in a can. The install was done by a person with many F-body trans/clutch installs under his belt along with my help so I'm sure it was/is done correctly.

Just remember every time you mod you take away drivability comforts

Don't have to preach to the choir.....nothing is stock on this car however my Spec Stage 3 wasn't nearly this noisy thus the concern.

Hmm, never noticed before with my OZ700 Z-grip. I'll check it out one of these nights and post up. You're saying it only makes the noise when it's idling in neutral with the clutch engaged?

Idling in neutral, goes away when clutch is depressed.

Common problem on any car with any upgraded clutch/flywheel.

Beginning too wonder if it isn't the B&M shifter causing the noise and it's just more noticeable now with the new TEX clutch and my new cam and it's wicked overlap.
