You may hear noise on a regular basis with that light flywheel. The heavier/stockers soak up a lot of that so they are quiet. You should hear a ZF6 with a Fidenza..Sounds like a damn diesel idling.

Found the problem it was a bad pilot bearing. I can't believe a $10.00 part cost so much to put in at least i was able to look at the clutch and flywheel ( which are still in perfect condition)
