Got my Cobra back from the tranny shop today after 5 days. I find out theres bits of metal in my rear end fluid. (it whines). So, aside from having an F'ed up rear end, I find ANOTHER nice little problem. (or maybe major?)
When I come to a stop, I will hear this high pitched, shreeking whine coming from the right wheel well. It happens on and off, sometimes at idle too. At idle I will hear a grinding noise, and all of a sudden it will go away and the car will idle normally. The grinding noise almost sounds like a shredded serpintine belt. It will come and go. I checked the belts and they are fine. The grind sounds like its coming from right behind the wheel(s).When I got home, I rolled the car back, and it shreeked like mad. It occasionally whines at low speeds too, in and out. It doesn't matter if my foot is on the brake or not. When I got home, and rolled back to verify where the whale was coming from, I pull the ebrake up, go over to the wheel well, and BOTH smell like burning. Smells horrible, almost like a fried clutch. It's not my clutch though, I freaking hope, becuase I JUST got it replaced. I got a SPEC stage I clutch, lightened Pressure plate, resurfaced flywheel, 2nd gear rebuilt, 1/2 synchro's replaced, 5th gear slider, 1-2 slider. The car grinds still while getting put in reverse, but I heard here that it's normal or something.
It sounds like a woman screaming almost. To sum it up in 3 words: grinding/burning/whining. I am soo p!ssed off at my car right now, so far it seems like a big pit of problems. Broken tranny, bad rear end, back clutch, bad throwout bearing, now this. Please help guys. It's a '97 with 46k miles. My Maxima never any of these problems, (matter of fact it had zero problems) and it was boosted with twice the mileage.
Driving home with the new clutch, I also notice that now the clutch pedal is vibrating like mad when im cruising. There is SLIGHT vibrating when i'm out of gear. Hopefully this is normal or something? Gotta take it back in the shop tommorow.

o/r x-pipe + flows at low RPMs = deep echo'ed gurgle.
