Hey guys I was coming home tonight and pulled in my driveway and a guy pulled in behind me and said my car was throwing sparks out from underneath it? He said it wasn't many just a few? Anybody got any ideas on what could be causing this?

Thanks for the help!

Yes, manual trans. Clutch doesn't feel any different but may just not notice it.

Old or new clutch?

You could have something come off the pressure plate or disc. I have seen this a couple of times with broken disc springs that roll around in the bell housing and get hit by the flywheel which causes some sparks.

I'm not saying this is you problem, but it could be. You need to do some inspecting under the car and run it with a friend looking under it. Determine if it does it when the car is sitting still or moving.
