that sucks man. If sound like the rods at first though.

 

ouch, sorry to hear, keep us updated.

 

Deff a rod knock

 

same exact thing i was thining after listening to your vid,,, i am not very sure the car would drive ok with a blown TC, you would fell something at least when taking curves.

drain you oils and see which one comes out dirty,, with metal if any

 

Keep on filming it we might get to see that rod come through the block.

 

im still running stock cams

 

not to beat the dead horse but yea definitely rod knock. my friends 4age motor did the same thing after oil starvation and severe overheating.

 

Ok, since ive been building motors and have been a mechanic for many years you can trust me it sounds like the engine but isnt. You can put your head in the engine area no noise, the transmission side is where its coming from and you can the feel the thud on the top front corner with your hand. Push the clutch in and the noise is gone. Heres your proof.

 

^^^ Outstanding rebuke, 4myX. It does sound like a trashed transfer case.. Just had one similar to that at work last week.

Where are you planning to source a new tranny or transfer case from? I forget what X ACDs go for, but the IX ACD is almost $4k at the dealer.. *facepalm*

 

Im going to have shepard do a stage 2 and replace whats broken

 

I don't understand how it could be a transfer case since it is only there when the engine is disengaged from the tranny. I think you **** a bearing or it is something to do with your clutch...

 

after that last video.. it might just be the clutch

 

how can a spun bearing not make noise when the clutch is pressed? it is obviously something in the transmission

 

4myx,
i had somethign extremely similar happen to me in my old GSX. What it turned out to be was one of the springs from the pressure plate came apart and lodges in such a fashion that it was "slapping" against the moving parts in the clutch area. sounded almost exactly like that. Fixed it with a new clutch pressure plate and flywheel. just my .02

 

I didn't say it was a spun bearing... I was talking about a throw out or pilot bearing. But I am leaning more towards one of the springs in the clutch failing.
