2800 RPMS... STILL...

not my heat shield.. any other ideas?

 

How are your mounts, including dog bone?

 

My dogbone rattles, but it still needs further broken in.

But what kind of sound is it metal on metal?

 

a "tingy" metal on metal...

 

metal on metal sounds I can think of:

loose timing belt cover (lower or middle)
broken exhaust bracket

Geez, short list, but I'll keep you in mind as I'm digging around under the hood.

 

I have a rumbly/grind sound that comes from the rear area of my car when I shift out of 2nd. It only does it after I disengage the clutch and usually stops as soon as I release it. It doesn't do it everytime and it's so faint that nobody else even notices it. I only hear it when I'm listening for it. It could very well be something rattling around in my spare tire compartment. -shrugs- Not sure what it is... but if I find out... I'll let ya know and maybe it'll help you find yournoise.

 

change your rear diff fluid....(if its not something in the trunk)
