Transmission grinding noise after CMAK install

cthorson910 · 03-25-2019, 09:15 PM

I'm planning on getting this cmak kit once my slave kills itself (knock on wood its still fine at 54k) and have watched the install videos a handful of times. Unless you've got bad luck and have bad parts out of the box, there is only 2 things I can think of that could be causing the noises. In part 4 of the install video, he mentions a little bit of grease on the inner diameter of the throwout bearing where it meets the tube on the front of the trans that goes around the input shaft, and also a specific tightening sequence to center the fork and throwout. My guess is that one of those 2 things (or both) weren't done properly.
