Ok. I could really use a bit of help here. I recently destroyed the clutch in my 05
stang and decided to go with the Ram Powergrip kit in conjunction with a new Ram Billet steel flywheel. I replaced the pilot bearing but not the intergral throwout/slave cylinder bearing. I shimmed the throwout bearing w/ one shim to compensate for the difference in the height of the pressure plate like Ram notes. After getting everything back together I now have a significant clunkin noise when I let the clutch out in 4 of 5 gear as it engages. It does it slightly in first, second, and third, not when the clutch is released, but when you accelerate lightly, however, it sounds more like a growling noise and goes away as the rpms increase.
I believe I have eliminated the following possibilites:
Rear End? No, I have completely rebuilt the rear end and added a Detroit C Locker - Not the issue, sounds more up front anyways.
Driveshaft? No, Does not appear to be the problem. No noticeable/visible vibrations or loose connections
Engine? No, Not an engine type sound.
This leaves either the clutch or something in the
tranny. I'm completely baffled! I guess I'll take it all back apart again, check clearances, and make sure everything is tight. I guess while Im at it ill change the throwout bearing too.
You guys got any suggestions?

05 Clutch/Tranny Noise 
Anyway, today while driving home, the noise got worse. Clutch down I hear growling/ginding/rapsy noise, but when I engage a gear, it goes away. Also 2nd is pretty hard to get in. I guess I have to finally change the carb on the restomod to make it run so I can get the 05 to the dealer for few weeks. Funnn..
