I recently replaced the cluth (8"), pressure plate, bearing, seal on my 1.6 gearbox. The earlier cluth was 7" & a smaller sized flywheel was used so it had to be replaced with a larger flywheel to accomodate the 8" cluth (2nd hand flywheel).
After the change there's a rough & rattling noise coming from the gearbox area & it's only there during acceleration & changing gears. No sound when idle or on free gear. Also noticed that the start is rough sounding compared to when i had the earlier flywheel on (i've done the adjustments to the starter position) & btw i'm using a high torque starter (not the standard one).
Could this be due to the 2nd hand flywheel? Unbalanced flywheel? The engine sounds much rougher now & it's not a pleasant drive anymore. Pls help. TQ.
