Loud grinding sound when i accelerate

I recently had new clutch, flywheel and motor mounts put on. Now when I accelerate, unless i do it really slowly theres this awfull grinding sound, sounds like its coming from tranny. Only happens when i accelerate.

I had a problem that sounded like what you have now, turned out it was crappy motor mount, maybe a tranny mount in your case?

take it back before they can argue it wasn't their fault. That odometer better read damn close to the same as it left them.

Hold on, are you saying that you found that somebody put a flywheel on backwards? If so that person must be the stupidest person in the world.

A clutch disc can be put on backwards. Now I'd have to run a search to see if it would create these symptoms, but in any case the tranny needs dropped to fix it. So it needs to go back to the shop, IMO.

I see. I read that wrong. I was seeing somebody putting the friction side of the flywheel towards the motor, haha.
