bad bad noise after gearbox change
so i just spent 2 days on my drive changing the gearbox on my wifes early (93) wrx, on starting it up for the first time its makeing a bad noise from around the belhousing area at first i thaught it may be something rubbing belt etc but its deffinetly coming from the back.
the clutch was ok so wasnt touched the box was hard to get on the last 10mm and had to be tightend down on the bolts but went easy enough i just put this down to it being a little sticky on the pins.
has anyone got a clue what this could be i realy dont have the time to strip this again or the will lol.
im going to take the starter off tomorrow the clutch is working and the noise dosnt change when its pressed down.

hmmm they are a pita to line up, you shouldnt really just tighten one side up and then do the other side, you need to close the gap equally round the box, ive had a few probs myself b4 but mine was just getting the spline in, i kept moving the clutch away from centre, did you do it on your own???

ok so i took the box off today and everything looked ok i took out the thrust bearing and set it all up again, put the box back in and got the same noise again onlyt now the center of the clutch wont engage soooooooo i took it apart again (at least im getting good at it now) and removed the clutch, Imagine my surprise to see the small cover plate at the bottom of the engine bent up and obviously been hitting the clutch/flywheel
im glad i found what it was but you know how pissed off i am at this moment lol.
