[Spridgets] Metal contact sound through trans tunnel

[Mark Haynes]

The sound is an intermittent metal on metal, like something hitting the trans
tunnel (that's why I checked the clearance of things) It comes and goes, not
exactly with torque applied or power demanded. Dave Lieb may have hit the nail
on the head, it could be the starter combined with the load applied hammering
on the footwell.It just weird that its audible from, and able to be felt
through, the transmission tunnel.(confused look)

As some of you may remember, I lost the first gear in the ribcase on the MKII
 just before Elkhart Lake. I bought a used one and had to rebuild that one as
 well (Thanks to Gerard, Ed and Peter C that is). Now the trans shifts super
 smooth (all new internal wear parts), but after the trans wams up, I get
what
 sounds and feels like a metal on metal contact that comes and goes under
load
 ONLY in third and fourth.I've looked down the tunnel, and there's nothing
 within 2" of the tunnel itself (kind of thought that it might be the zerc).
So
 there's nothing near the tunnel to make contact, the only other thing that I
 can think of is the starter (Isuzu GR type) which sits very close to the
 passenger's foot well. but why just in 3 and 4, when I push everything
harder
 in 1 & 2?BTW, all mounts are new, all mounts are tightly bolted down.Open to
 any suggestions, it runs very well, except for this which just makes me
think
 I'm going to damage something (Again) when it occurs.
