I have a fidenza/ACT combo in my 2k, recently I have been getting this rattleing/squeaking noise from the front at low speeds. In retrospect, I have also been getting excessive, even for ACT, clutch chatter. I thought it was just suspension noise, but then today I was passing someone, winding out 3rd gear at around 5600rpm, I hear a sound similar to running over the rumble strips on the edges of an intersate highway. I considered that it was an engine mount, but would an engine mount cause a rumble strip noise? In high speed cruising (100mph+ @ 1hr+) the car still feels perfect.

Any help is appreciated.

The only time I get noise is when i'm trying to engage into first gear, and it's louder when the car is cold. It's kind of a grindy noise that sounds really bad. Sounds like my squeeking struts, but it's the clutch. But like I said its only in first and quiets when the car gets warm, so i'm not really worried.

The same thing happened again today, except in 4th gearing at 5600rpm, and then went away on the way to redline. The low speed sound occurs more when it is 90 degrees or more out, but has nothing to do with the cars operating temperature. I can't figure it out.
