92 se 5spd.

Low grinding noise from front driver's side, increases with acceleration in all gears. Goes away when I take my foot off the pedal or push the clutch in. I was wondering if it may be a bearing or something in the tranny. I had a wrong NAPA driver's axle in for about 6 months; then I put in one for an automatic tranny and it fit perfectly.

Any thoughts are very appreciated. Thanks!

 

does it do this when you are not moving in nuetral with the clutch out

 

no, only when i accelerate in any gear. what does a slipping clutch feel like?

 

if your clutch was slipping your car would rev up in gear without accelerating

could be differential bearings

 

i just read motorvate.ca and i'm thinking it might be my differential carrier bearing which might have been damaged when i had the wrong axle from NAPA installed causing too much pre-load on it. my axle seal seems to be leaking despite installing a new one recently. i was very careful not to tear it.

the clunk-clunk grinding sound increases in speed when i accelerate and is noticeable in all gears, especially in 1st and 2nd.

any other thoughts?
