Starting making the noise last Friday(25th). It always made the common noise of the TOB at idle.

But Friday it started making the noise in 1st gear up to about 3000rpm's then it goes away. Doesn't do it in any other gear at any rpm or speed. Only 1st gear. There's no whine from TC or clanking or grinding from the tranny just the noise of the TOB turning faster until 3000rpm then its gone.

Now i just want to see if you guys think it's also the TOB.

And will any TOB from a clutch kit for a Evo will work. I have a Exedy Stage 1 in there right now. Clutch has been in for about 20,000 miles had a whole new kit put in at the time so the Tob only has about 20,000 miles on it.

The noise is like a clunking at idle, its flait not real loud, If anyone has every heard the TOB at idle on there car thats the sound.

 

Little help here.

 

Well to start off your going to have to describe it better than just a "Noise"

Is it a fart, a burp, what is the noise?

 

bump

 

help

 

anybody know?

 

Does it go away when you push the clutch in?

 

yeah, i have the TOB noise at idle, then push the clutch and it goes away, but now when i start off from a stop you hear it up to 3000rpm then it goes away in 1st gear, other gears no noise what so ever.

 

Nobody?
