Alright lets help me figure out my problem of either a fried clutch or a blown rearend:

1.Car shakes for second at start in first but drives fine after
2.Wierd very small vibration through the whole car, seems to be coming from the back
3.No vibration in shifter
4.Clutch has less then 1300 miles and still holds as hard as ever
5.Stock original rear end with new 400hp motor, also new trans
6.Also when the problem first started a wierd clanging, crashing, pinging sound was coming from the clutch houseing or the rearend but only lasted for a couple seconds, as if some piece of metal was banging around.

So anyone have any ideas because I'm stuck.

Also theres a strong smell of like burning plastic coming from the engine compartment when the car is running, this started the same time as the other problems.....???.......????

Do you notice any difference with how the clutch pedal feels? I would put the car up on jacks and have someone run it and try to narrow down where the sound is coming from.


You might want to change the fluid in the rear end and check for metal parts.
