I just finished my auto to manual swap and it drives great works well but it makes very loud noises when the clutch is both in and out and when deaccelirating! not to bad when accelirating. everything is new in the clutch area. it sound like a swirling sound when driving at steady throttle not so noticible at wot and when slowing down it sounds the same but louder (very loud) and like its dragging. it is really hard to say what it sounds like best i could describe it sounds like a demon. and a loud one at that. could it be a bad tranny or wrong fluid ( 85-140) or wrong amount of fluid? what else could it be? thanks for any and all your help!and I found out today that if you put weight on the drivers side it will make the sound.

i had the same problem. i suggest you to stop driving the car, before it gets worse. mine was getting worse, but i didn't think it would be that bad. so drove it to work, hopped on the freeway, hears something snap, car shuts off, i pull over. try to start the thing back up, it starts..let go of the clutch it dies out, and that was in neutral. all the other gears didn't want to go except 5th. but the weird thing is that months later when i had my friend check it out, he puts it in all gears and gives it a go, it goes but the car was in front of my driveway. so we really couldn't do much about it, because it still died out in neutral. he said it was my clutch, soooooo later my dad had some wannabe mechanics that didn't know jack about my car, had them install my exedy clutch, when they took off the tranny i seen my clutch release sleeve (the cylinder piece). and that was all messed up.so i told them to just put it back in and i'll deal with it later. so they got everything back in, i don't know what happened but they said it was my tranny. i think they're full of shit. soo right now i'm going to give my friend a call later on this week, and have him check it out. the guys that worked on my car made a mess on my type X seats, door panels have oil. i am disappointed in my dad, they fuckin didn't put all the bolts in, and that made me really pissed. and it's nowhere to be found. the ass holes. i suggest you to have a good mechanic check it out on a lift. cuz i'mmmm fuckeddd for now.
