Stage 3 Install... Bang... help?
#21
You know, I am actually amazed that the answer that comes to mind hasn't been mentioned yet. Especially on a forum where it has been discussed at length. I'll give you a few minutes to think about it.

Ok contestants...time is up!
Though it is possible that this is related to a loose bolt it is also potentially chatter. This is not terribly incommon with a stage 3 clutch and it would occur when the unit reaches the take-up point. Because the clutch is performing properly then missing bolts is unlikely. Check your mounts and other external fasteners. If all is good and the car shifts fine then put some miles on it and let me know if you experience anything else. Thanks!!!!

I'm still betting on torque arm mount bolt. My buddy's rattled out about a month after his clutch install and on the take off there was a loud bang that you could feel in the shifter and then it drove fine. You could see how the torque arm was scraping on his TSP true dual exhaust when it would go up and hit the tunnel.

Thanks alot guys- getting new trans mount and torque arm mount to hopefully solve the problem. I probably need to replace them whether or not it is the problem since the car has 102,xxx miles.
When it's all done i'll be sure to let you all know what the problem was.
