I bought it from the second owner who only had it for 2 months and blew a head gasket, the original owner did a lot of work to it, 6 piston brakes with 2 piece rotors, front & rear springs, much larger sway bars, big radiator, full borla exhaust, my guess is it was autocrossed, second owner said 1st owner had just done the clutch, so I doubt the original owner who had so much money in the car did a cheap clutch job, but ill never know whats in there till I take it apart. second owner has no idea how to contact 1st owner for me. car only has 68,000 miles, probably hard miles to need a clutch that soon but car is pretty mint convertible. best is I only paid 2K for it. I did a miniram and a cam, mildly ported stock heads, still need to do headers, gonna disconnect serpentine belt and see whats up, If I don't find anything gonna leave it like most of you have and just make it louder so I don't hear it, lol

and the fact that there is no change either way means its not tranny related? could be accessories? if it were a crack or problem with flywheel. shouldnt it change with clutch in or out?

But like he said, you're going to have to start listening with a stethoscope or metal rod and just resort to basic troubleshooting.

To me, that is what it means. If it makes noise w/the car in gear, then in really can't be the gears making noise...has to be something else.
