Hi all, I just did the Tr3650 to T56 swap in my 2003 GT, and now I have a problem that I can't diagnose due to lack of knowledge. It goes into each gear just fine and is driveable, BUT:

Only when I let out the clutch ALL the way, a rapid metallic tapping sound takes place, and it varies with the engine rpms. If I place my foot a bit on the clutch pedal, it stops.

What could this be? I already had a Terminator clutch on the car before the swap and so I didn't touch it, but I did replace the throwout bearing.

Any ideas? Clutch adjustment problem?

Sounds like throw out bearing.

throw out bearing retainer if the clutch pedal is flapping around.
