Problem: When releasing the clutch pedal quickly I get a grinding/rubbing metal sound. It only happends if I let the cluctch out quickly (no dumping or burning out). Kind of when you do a sloppy start, during that initial jerk of the car, the sound is preatty bad. But after the car starts rolling its gone. If I release the clutch out on slowly there is no sound or any any other gear for that matter. I lifted my car and inspected for any rubbing, grinding, shaved areas. Visually I could see none. So I took out the axel and still cant see any wear or anything. I took some pics to see if you guys can spot anything I'm missing. The axels is not an OEM piece, and was purchased through a local import shop.

do u have a staged clutch?

 

check those axles again make sure the bearings are not coming out of the casing...hard to see cuz of the boot still being in tact....

 

I replaced the clutch a little under two years ago with an Exedy Organic OE replacement w/pressure plate also. At that sime time I replaced the axel (with the non-oem)...and the sound is only on that passenger...

 

bump for help...

 

bump for a quick moving tech section....
