Loud POP coming from Bell Housing - HELP
A few days ago, I started hearing a loud POP almost everytime I pushed the cluth in (happens right at the top of the pedal movement). Had a buddy listen under the car this morning as it noise is getting louder...it is clearly coming from the 4speed bell housing. It doesn't happen every time I push the clutch.. would say 80% of the time.
I had a new Centerforce I clutch, pressure plate and spent the extra $ for a roller throwout bearing when I had the work done at AAMCO less than 500 miles ago.
Any ideas what this might be?

Take it back and ask them if they installed an adj pivot stud and spec'd it out according the Centerforce directions. The standard pivot ball is too short and will miss align the throwout bearing and fork.
BTW If they gave you back the Centerforce paperwork dig through it and find the card that outlines the pivot ball directions and take it with you.

Warranty.... Centerforce's products have greatly gone down in quality. I install a Centerforce during my 6 speed conversion and the clutch pedal would not push in. I called Centerforce and they made every excuss on why it was not their product. I ended up replacing $600 worth of parts and pull the tranny 3 times before I packed it up and sent it back. It ended up being the pressure plate. They were complete ash'es about it. I ended up installing the new clutch and now have my fingers crossed it holds up.

I forgot to give my opinion on the problem.
It could be a bad pressure plate, the bolts on the plate could be backing out, Throw out bearing could be sticking, or many other things. Your going to have to pull it and see.
