CMyles, Glad to see you're back, Please chime in.
Just rebuilt a '89 2.0 turbo motor and dropped into car using a known good '89 turbo tranny and new clutch. Hooked up everything and filled with fresh fluids. After a couple of minor boo-boo's motor pretty much started right up, Yay! Had good oil pressure, after the lifters pumped all seemed well except had a knocking noise similar to a rod knock. Oh crap! Heard it was towards the front of the block. Grabbed my stethoscope and did not hear anything in the engine itself. Motor sounded normal, knock seemed to come from the tranny/clutch area. When I engaged the clutch the knocking went away. Now what did I do wrong?
After reading around in the forum here I have found that when re-filling a 5-speed tranny you need to also add some fluid to the primary drive housing. Since I failed to add the fluid here, would it be safe to say that that is why I'm having a knock when the clutch is released? Would that be a typicle noise that would come from a dry drive housing? Also how much tranny fluid should be added?
