Hello,
Sorry if this is the wrong section
I have an 05 Evo 8. It's begun to make a strange noise and I was wondering if anyone could do your best to help me diagnose the issue.
The best I can describe this noise coming from the front drivers side of the motor/ trans is a as if a metal ball is rolling or swirling around in a red solo cup while driving.
It does this at idol (sometimes) BUT mostly when I'm driving as my rpms hit 2500 in every gear. Other than that after 2500 rpms it goes away.
When I am able to catch this noise at idol (it's not that loud but loud enough to annoy me) if I throw the car in gear it goes away. But as i creep forward, throw it in second and give it gas the whirling rotating metal noise appears right around the 2509 rpm range.
There is no knocking noise at start up
It doesn't sound like knock or rod bearing as the car is relatively quiet at idol and the only time i am able to notice the noise as I described above more of a whirling metal sound at idol is when I'm inside the car in the driver seat.
Could this possibly be a bad bearing(s) in the trans?
Before I go ripping apart the car any advise is greatly appreciated. It's driving me insane.
