our cars have a cement mixer running, well the flywheel and it tends to be lound, push the clutch in flywheel no moving, let it out flywheel moving, well i believe that is true, take it in if u want. i have 04 w/ 20k it has been a lil loud,

I've never heard of a flywheel taht makes noise? i suppose if it's out of balance it could vibrate enough to touch something but if so ti should be fixed, taht kinda of flex in a hit flywheel could casue a spectacular failure
