Default Re: Clutch noise - still! And hoping for a miracle.

If that were the case, it would be worse when the clutch pedal is pressed down (clutch disengaged) and forward pressure applied to the flywheel. In the video clip, the noise starts after the pedal is released (clutch engaged).

I was thinking it sure sounds like ring gear teeth brushing by something. But, what? Throwing me off is that as the clutch is released, the noise speeds up, like the transmission input shaft coming up to speed. That would point to something inside the transmission, making contact with the grooves on the input shaft or a gear inside.

Could it be the gasket folded over when the transmission was bolted to the flywheel housing?
