What do you think this noise could be?????
 

Ok so I have been thinking that my car may have a knocking rod, but it only happens at in like 1st gear at mid to high rpms. I don't hear it higher up but that may be due to wind noise. Although it doesn't make the sound while idling or freely revving it up. I do know it needs a clutch and was wondering if it could possible just my clutch making noise. Oh and it'll also make this noise on start up. I ask cause if it just strongly sounds like the clutch id much rather drive my car back to South Fl than take a plane ride so I could have some wheels down there.



and maybe go to the meet they are having down there next month lol.

Ill take any advice, even if its just saying Im an idiot.

Seriously doubt it's rod knock, I can tell you from personal and recent experience that it's pretty obvious. I bent a rod pretty good, and you could feel it through the clutch, loud as shit except during cranking where it was pretty much silent.

Is the frequency always the same at a given RPM? If not, that would probably rule out a motor issue.

I'd grab a stethescope (or long screwdriver) and try to track id down at idle.

Out of curiosity, what kind of torque are you making? Looks like stock by your sig.
