Need help identifying a sound

Looks like the dealer was able to fix my oil leak. The leak from the main seal. Anyhow, my new Exidy stage 2 clutch feels real good+the lightened flywheel to. The stiffer clutch pedal feel took a little bit of getting use to. No big deal though. Ok my question is. Is this clutch suppose to be noisy, or emit a chattersound? The sound that I am hearing. Sounds like something is loose underneath the car. Front of the car to be exact.. Thanks for any inputs you can provide..

I went ahead and left my car at the dealer. So the mechanic can take a look at it tomm..

stiffer clutch will have minimal noise usually. good call to have the dealer have a once over just to be sure

I guess a "rattling" sound would best describe it.

when you depress the clutch does it go away?

If the noise is there when you depress the clutch, that's normal for a metal clutch (especially twin setup). I have a twin Exedy that makes chatter when the clutch is disengauged (pedal depressed).

I wish I had this sound issue. AMS posted a note with that clutch setup that says to expect more noice when installed. Hopefully it's the same noise they talk about...

Well, we found out what was making that sound. It was a loose socket rolling around underneath the car. Yeah, the mechanic forgot about it..

HAHA thats funny. My friend left a snake light in his engine bay once. I think it was in there for about 2 weeks. The funny thing is he took a pic of his engine bay and you can see it sitting in there lol.
