Possible engine tapping

a growl?? is the fluid level full??

Will double check it. It was strange because it only had happened when I was backing out of my garage hasn't happened again, but will give it a good checking in the morning

So spoke with a few more people and turns out that one possibility is a normal noise with the AC on, another possibility is the new throw out bearing is bad. Time will tell, and going to change the rear diff oil and see if that stops the rear end issue

I doubt that new throwout is bad.........could be an issue with input shaft bearing in the tranny as it'll stop spinning with the clutch pressed in, but I wouldn't be overly concerned as long as noise doesn't get any louder and the next time you come up for something such as gears, I can go for a ride and give you my opinion.  Also if you plan to do gears within the near future you can kill a few birds with that stone such as swapping out fluid and save on money there.

very true, will let you know
