Hey guys am in need of some help. I installed a HD Clutch and solid flywheel last wednesday.
All was going ok and no problems to be had until bout2 days later when i would start the car there was a very noticeably ticking sound coming from under my feet.
For bout a day it would just happen when the car started then go as soon as i drove away.
However last night it didnt go away till after bout 15 minutes of driving.
It produces the sound in and out of gear.
I dont know how much it has to do with it bout last night when the sound stopped i was just coasting at round 60kph and help my foot on the clutch for few seconds and it stopped.
Not sure if coincedence.
Heres a vid of it if anyone could check it out it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Sounds a bit like my vt did (but wasnt under my feet) ended up being the ignition leads & a leak in the exhaust manifold. The leak in the exthuast will cause a ticking noise when the engine is cold. After a few mins of driving it goes. If you installed the clutch though & the sounds coming from below im guessing it could be something to do with that, but dont know much about them.
