He says the sound stops when he depresses the clutch so
it could be... the flywheel is warped, clutch has lost one or two
rivets and has separated, clutch could have de-laminated, pressure plate
was warp from the manufacture. Could be any of them or something completely
different. Good luck man.

d'oh! now's the time to learn how to shift without a
clutch! i've done it many a time now, and
it works just
fine.

sounds like a couple of possibilities. but i'm
thinking that the most likely culprit is the
little nub on the clutch
release plate. when you installed the tranny, did you put a
little
grease on it?

did
it make a crunchy noise, accompanied by a shudder thru the car? if so,
then i think that
sorta strengthens my belief that it's the clutch release
plate.

oh yeah, you totally could driven home without the
clutch. next time you'll know better.

i think that the 200 and 210mm clutches are
interchangeable. the problem is when you try and use
an 8V clutch in
a 16V tranny, or vice versa. that way you'll end up with a car that will
only
just barely move forward before making a hideous grinding
sound.

i
unfortunately can't give you details, but one of the easiest ways is to drop
the entire motor
and do it all out of the car. of course, make sure
that you have all the tools that are required.
some that i can think
of off the top of my head:
-10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19mm sockets
(in various 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" sizes)
-the same metric-sized
wrenches
-a metric hex set
-a 12pt driveshaft tool (i *think* that it's
8mm, but it could be 9mm or 10mm as well)
-a 30mm socket for removing the
drive axle completely (i like to, most people don't)
-a 12pt 9mm socket for
taking the 9 flywheel bolts out
-a pair of needle-nose pliars for taking
the release-plate hold-down spring out
-assorted flat-blade and phillips'
screwdrivers
and for re-assembly, your best bet is to use a
-clutch-centering tool that normally comes in the valeo clutch kit.
some people prefer not to use
it, but i think it makes things a lot
easier
-a torque wrench, or two if you can get em (one that does up to
25ft-lb, and the other that does
up to 250ft-lb
-bentley manual for
torque specs
can anyone else fill in some of the gaps that i may have
missed?
keep in mind that there is an 11mm bolt (although i have seen
an instance where a large phillips'
screw was used) that holds the speedo
gear in place, and there is a big ol' ground wire connected
to the tranny
that needs to be disconnected. also, two of the shifter linkage rods
will need to
be popped off.
> Hope someone can help me out,
well I make my self dinner.
best of luck to ya, guy. some people
i know can do this job in less than 2 hours. it takes me a
bare
minimum of 2 just to get the tranny out.
HTH!
