Starting up a TR6 with a rebuilt engine and we have a rattle/rubbing noise from the clutch area.
We pulled the trans after the initial start up and found a nut plate from the firewall that the trans tunnel fastens to, in the bell housing.
Re-installed trans and although it sounds better it's not right.
In trying to diagnose it, with the clutch disengaged and the trans in gear, and holding the output shaft (drive line is disconnected) nothing should be rotating in the transmission? correct?
The engine had been in a front end accident and I suspect that the pilot bushing has been distorted, this is because with the clutch disengaged and the trans in gear and holding the output shaft the noise is still there. Nothing else is rotating except the flywheel and bushing around the end of the trans input shaft.
The clutch disc and pressure plate throw out bearing are new and were not in the accident with the engine.
Could it be the pilot bush?
Thanks
