When I start up my stang I hear this rotating metallic noise coming from the bellhousing. Then SOMETIMES when I press or release the clutch pedal I hear the same noise but it isnt as intense. And it seems like when I put the car in reverse almost everytime I release the clutch pedal I can hear it. It doesnt make ANY noise while driving, just when the pedal is pressed in or released. I have a new clutch and pilot bearing... what could this noise be?
Metallic noise on startup and more...

Only other idea is the starter (drive/bendix), but the clutch pedal depressing issue leads to the belief in the tob ... did you use plenty of good grease on the tranny shaft, a new tob or is the shaft it slides on worn
sorry, you got it (TOB = throw out bearing).
the sleeve the TOB slides on is the bearing retainer. stock ones are alum and can get chunked up. steel retainers are preferred over the stock aluminum ones.
good luck.

it is up to you. i prefer synthetic grease myself, but there are many choices.
however, since you need to pull the trans to properly grease the TOB race, i would get a new quality TOB instead. also inspect the retainer.
you are sure that fluid level in the trans is up to snuff, right?
