Three days after picking my car up after the install, and I'm about to go crazy.

The noise is a high-pitched whine, along with a rattling sound and vibrations enough to seriously shake the shifter in my hand. It's loud enough that people can hear it from 50-60 feet away, loud enough inside the car to easily be heard over the radio at high volumes. It started as only a light whine while under light acceleration, that went away if I applied more throttle or let off completely, to what it was today - a neverending howl. I'm at the point where I'm afraid to drive the car, because of the noise, but I don't have a choice. The noise gets VERY severe after hard acceleration (not WOT).

I'm going to double-check fluid levels tomorrow, but I haven't seen any leaks at all. Haven't heard of a problem like this, but I'm hoping someone has some idea of what it could be.

 

I know if you email textralia directly they will take care of your problem as they stand behind this clutch 100% and their customer service is second to none. I had a few problems with the shipping with my textralia as the box arrived at my house totally destroyed like fedex played soccer with it. They had me send it back and they sent me a new one. Just give em a call or send them an email. They'll take care of ya.

Talked to them, and they don't believe it's the clutch. Their suggestion was a bad carrier bearing, but that was replaced during the install. Still have absolutely no idea what this could be, and I'm about ready to just frag the ******* thing.
