Hi guys,
Recently purchased a 2005 3.0 Spec.B and after a couple of weeks of ownership i have noticed the following...
1. When smoothly blending the clutch and accelerator from 1sr to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd there is almost an orbital grind noise. Like a bearing is not happy.
2. On idle there is a thug thug thug... noise
3. When the clutch is fully depressed (seperated) and i spike the revs, say 3000-4000 there is a similar noise to when i release the clutch between the gears metioned above, however it is more voilent and louder.
This has been annoying be ever since, and i hate having my car not 100% as everything else on the car is perfect.
The service history is impeciable, serviced every 9000-10000 without fail.
I recently took it to ross at cromwood auto care here in victoria, he suggested replacing the throw out bearing, and clutch fork as he found they were bent, of which i got him to do. However this has not fixed the noise, and me and ross have no idea what it is.
Attached is a video of what it sounds like on idle (not my video or anything just a random one i found that sounds the same)

(Similar deep bearing sound on idle though its quieter than that)
If anyone has any idea what this noise is, or even what my next plan of action should be that would be amazing.
Thanks Rhys.
