G56 with a Sound Bend SDD3250
I recently developed a clutch noise as the clutch is engaging. It makes a metal on metal grunt. Only does it when taking off from a dead stop and not when making a rolling takeoff or between shift engagement It does not make the noise in 1st...even when towing my 8k trailer...only in 2nd. I did pop it in third from a dead stop as a test and it started to make the same sound. Clutch doesn't slip one bit when engaged. It doesn't make any noise when fully engaged or disengaged, so I'm not suspecting a bad pilot or input shaft bearing.
I'll be dropping the tranny here soon to inspect...just wanted some opinions before I tear into it in case I need to pre order parts.
Phone mic didn't pick up the noise real well, but listen towards the beginning and you can faintly hear the noise.
