First drive Friction sound from BOX

[dabigbolf]

ok,

Took the car up the court and back tonight....

Car is runnign healthy. But get out and am in first gear.

Take it easy. The i slowly accelerate, and from about 3 k's reall slow, i hear a metal on metal noise. I get to about 12 to 15 k's and its loud.....

So i stop, put clutch in... Noise stil there. brake, and noise is gone.

I just got a sugguestion of it being the Brake pads? could that be it..

Or could it be yoke not being creased. There 3 litres of gearbox oil in there. Clutch is brand new, and and flywheel too. It doesn't make that sound cause its beding in does it.

i actually am thinking pads now, cause if i put clutch in, the sounds still there. WHich means, tailshaft isn't spinning...

But that would still mean flywheel is spinning. But it doesn't happen when i just rev the car, when its standing still.

So that would leave brakes, and the actual thrust bearing??

any sugguestions. Any answer except that the gearbox is stuffed, cause that would mean the end of the car.....

cheers

check you brakes and all the things around there

yeah am thinking brakes. But the noise is amplyfied as i dont have the gearbox shroud on at the moment.

My throttle cable bracket was a work of art. Very temporary. taped the throttle cable to the cam hose. worked just to get it moveable.

bozz is coming tommorow so should have everything sorted electrical wise now.

second opinion on noise is needed i reckon...
