I had a recording of this noise, but I'll be damned if I can find where the confuser has decided to store it...
Explains:
1986 S2, Euro, manual
When I start up and put the car in 1st there are no noises while the car isn't moving, when I shift to 2nd to speed up there's a teeth-on-edge tingtingtingskrrrkktingting that happens, and it only seems to happen to 2nd gear.
Could this be caused by using 2nd to start moving instead of 1st?
Maybe those springs in the middle of the clutch plate are only angry with 2nd?
Reading from
Clutch Troubleshooting under "Abnormal Noises" these paragraphs mostly describe what I feel is going on:
"An operator reports hearing a scraping, clunking, or squeaking sound when the clutch pedal is moved up or down. This is a good sign of a worn or unlubricated clutch release mechanism. With the engine off, pump the pedal and listen for the sound. Once the source of the sound is located, you should clean, lubricate, or replace the parts as required.
Sounds produced from the clutch, when the clutch is initially ENGAGED, are generally due to friction disc problems, such as a worn clutch disc facing, which causes a metal-to-metal grinding sound. A rattling or a knocking sound may be produced by weak or broken clutch disc torsion springs. These sounds indicate problems that require the removal of the transmission and clutch assembly for repair"
If this is more towards a transmission problem, I wont lie, I'll be quite sad. But the noise really worries me.
