Another Noise….

I am getting a "loose nut" sound when I coast. No…not me!

When in gear I cannot hear anything but exhaust sound. When the vehicle is out of gear (in neutral and coasting) it sounds like the transmission has a noise once in a while that sounds like a 'marble in a can' only for an 1 second or so. I observed the noise becoming more frequent and parked the car.

To shed more light on cause I have recently been down a dirt road…that was being re-surfaced, so it was DOUBLE dirt and gravel - my car was a mess AND I recently put on a clutch/LWFW combination.

Someone suggested they have had the LWFW pressure plate loosen on them. What would that sound like when the bolts let go?

I have not driven car for a couple days since it made that unnerving noise. I was planning on going back to pull the transmission and clutch….unless someone has a better idea, he said hopefully.

Are there specific places that may catch rocks around the tranny or something else that I can check?
