I was running through the gears today and misshifted and hit 8000 rpms, now I have a weird knocking noise (sounds like rod knock) from the rear of my tranny where the driveshaft enters the transmission.

I don't feel any vibrations in my feet, just really loud tapping on decel while in all gears, with exception of 4th gear. :wtf: Tapping noise goes away under 1200rpm in 1st,2nd,3rd, and 5th gear. ONLY TAPPING on decel, no noise whatsoever during acceleration, or when the clutch is pushed in at high rpms.


Running an Exedy RB20 flywheel with ACT 350z clutch with new T/O bearing. Just trying to figure out did my tranny take a shit or the flywheel bolts came loose?

Tranny mount and driveshaft are fine and bolted in place.

Only thing weird is that theres no noise at all if i'm cruising in 4th gear, all other gears on decel in gear it taps. Once I hear the sound and push the clutch in, the sound goes away. No tapping when revving freely in neutral either.

Oh yeah, this is on a KA.
