I had this exact same problem with my R turned out to be oil starvation that had worn my thrust washers and one of them ended up sitting in my sump. The video is the exact same noise had me baffled for weeks. Excessive end float on the crank. Needed a new block and crank. It would also only do it when releasing the clutch in 1st and 2nd gear. Sorry to scare you but you have all the simptons.
i dont think its that though, the engine has only done 200 miles and it is a Tomei stroker kit. car runs fine in all other gears if you dont hit any boost.

My car would run spot on never made the noise through the gears and slowing down just when pulling off with a bit of load on the clutch 1st and 2nd gear. It had me lost until I got so Pi**ed off I just stripped the engine after seeing the clutch vibrate so bad. The noise is like a grindy snatchy noise. If its a new build was the end float measured when new thrust washers were fitted??

I dont mean to scare you mate but my car had only done 2500 miles from a fresh rebuild. I do hope it isnt this have you taken it back to the guys that built it???

Hi mate, could be any of whats already been mentioned especially by DannyGTI-R but start simple first, what exhaust have you got as they can sometimes knock on the subframe from take off, engine mounts ok and all lined up properly? also that electrical fault you mentioned could also be that the 2 earths up by the washer bottle have been doubled up, dont ask me why it causes problems just happened to me once! Hope that helps..

hi bartman you back again
ok zee, i also agree with danny on this as it could well be crank walk.
take the plate off on underside of sump to expose flywheel then get a lever bar behind crank pulley and lever it forward (away from engine), now crawl under car and lever the flywheel in opposite direction, if theres any endfloat that could be whats causing the prob and also whats boogering up your starter motor.
the more you leave it the worst it will get
could also be a busted diff in gearbox!

Sorry mate but if the crunching noise is end float then it could be one or the other as in, could strip engine, re measure crank, little re grind and over size thrust washers special order. Or crank + block could be knackered and start from fresh......again

to be honest m8 if you have been running it with no oil in the box i think its safe to say its gonna fuck it

Agree with craig their, they heat up quite quick and gaurantee the the teeth on the gears will chew up and probably lock the diff up too way everything expanding with heat.
