Default G56 noise!

I built a 2005 crew cab dually.

It has a 1998 12v and a g56 out of a 2006.

The tranny makes a sound while accelerating, idling, and the best way to describe it is "soda cans rattling"

Help!!! I already put a new clutch and a throw out bearing in!

If ids a DD or solid flywheel then its going to make some form of noise. I just ordered gorilla juice from lazarsmith to help quet it down. I'l report back if it helps.

What clutch did you use to mate the 12V to the g56? Solid flywheel or Dual Mass?

I used the solid one that goes with the 12v.

I custom ordered a 12" clutch disk to mate with the g56.

Ok. That solid is probably whats making the noise. G56's had a dual mass flywheel to dampen transmission noises. When you had the trans out, did the input have any side-side movement?

Not that I could remember. It only had 70k on the trans.

Well I guesss I'll be pulling the Fu$&er out and putting something else in.

4500 or 6500

Before you do that. Get in touch with lazarsmith. They are the G56 gurus. I put their gorilla juice in last night and it really shut the trans up. Shifts great too. It smells like gear lube and has the consistency of a 75W about. But if your mainshaft is "wallowing", do like everyone else and run it till it blows.
