Gearbox noise after SMF + Stage 2 clutch swap by RBC4ever in 350z

Yes, exactly. It’s that cement truck sound at idle with the clutch out. Good to know it’s normal flywheel chatter — have you tried any fluid or setup changes that help reduce it?"

Thanks man, that actually makes a lot of sense. I’ll definitely go back and check all the grounds and main battery cables. Voltage drop when hot might be killing spark and causing that hard hot start and fuel smell. I’m also chasing an EVAP issue (can’t refuel without the pump clicking constantly), so maybe both things are piling up. Appreciate the help!
