Default What did I break this time?

the trans is making a unhappy sound when it is not under load. clutch in, clutch out, in gear, out of gear. don't matter but it does not make the sound when it is under load.. it changes pitch when I move the shifter into a gear. it kinda sounds like a fast spinning bearing if you know what I mean...

I got a shitty video you can kinda hear it but its hard over all the other loud *** noises my car makes lol

you can hear me go on and off of the gas

throw out bearing maybe? synchros? fucked trans?


I noticed the sound after my third pass.. I was half way into my burnout in the box when the dude shut me down cuz the car in front of me left some parts on the track. I then did a second burn out the tires seemed to start to stick so I let off. launched like usual and spun quit a bit and nothing unusual until I noticed the sound coming back to the staging lanes. it drives fine just makes the noise when not under load.

I put the car in the garage until I have some time to pull it apart again..

the trans is a Dr. Evil built T-56 it has a LS7 clutch and flywheel.

It's pretty hard to tell from the video, but you might try putting it on jack stands and have someone run it like that while you're under it listening. Might help you pinpoint where it's coming from. If you don't have a stethoscope, a long screwdriver works decent.
How much power are you making? I don't think the LS7 clutch is super aggressive where it will shock stuff real bad.

It only makes the noise when moving. It does not change much with rpm but gets more high pitch with higher speeds.
