Hi all,

I'll get the specs out of the way first:

2000 LS1 trans am 120k miles
Factory clutch/Trans
Tick performance adjustable master cylinder installed 30 miles ago
Car is barely driven 10 miles/week.

So when I go to shift, I will sometimes hear a deep whirring while releasing the clutch or while the pedal is fully depressed for a 3-2 downshift. It is not a grinding, but is constant when it happens until I engage the gear. There are no engagement issues though. I notice it most when going in reverse, as the sound is most noticeable when using the clutch the way you do in reverse. Also as I said it doesn't happen all the time.

Thoughts?
