No Ordinary 91

Okay heres the deal i can drive the car all day and as long as it doesn't get up around 200+ deg everything is fine, once it goes past that when the fans kick on i get a clanking noise that is coming from underneith the car, sounds like from the bell housing or something on the tranny, anyone else get this noise? I am driving down to BG on thursday and don't want the tranny to crap out on me, since the clutch was replaced 11,000 miles ago i don't think it was that, i have heard it before but i maybe just getting parinoid because of the trip any suggestions?

You may need to have it put up in the air and check it out closer to see exactly where it is coming from... :yesnod: :cheers: :seeya

Your problem is definately the dual mass flywheel. There is no solution other than replace it. A lot of people have gone with a single mass (standard) flywheel in an attempt to save a few bucks, but most end up less than impressed with the increase in gear noise. This is a common problem that occures with these cars and it's not a cheap part to replace.
Post again if you require further info.

well, is it something that is going to cause problems or wear on the tranny? i have just recently paid $1400 to have the clutch replaced, and would really prefer to wait until it comes time to replace the clutch again to re-do the flywheel and everything all at once
