any ideas? its not there when the car is cold... once it warms up the sound starts up.. most pronounced at lower rpm's (engine probably too loud after 3k)

sound disappears when i step down on the clutch... will sometimes be there at idle (video 1)

Can't exactly pinpoint that noise from the video but I advise you not to drive the car in that condition. If it goes away when you step on the clutch, has to be something related to that system.

Yup, clutch/flywheel assembly is always in motion when the engine is running.

wow that does sound kind of bad. I know that i have a lighter flywheel now so they do make a bit of noise, when i disengage the clutch i do hear some rattle sounds, but when i engage the clutch the sound is gone. Maybe something is wrong with ur flywheel?
