1990 nissan 240sx knocking noise? RESOLVED:loose flywheel

What is this noise????
Just found out it was a loose flywheel which caused the trans to loosen and it basically locked up. The flywheel was not fully tightened down by the shop that did the work...or somehow it just came loose.

I know this video is old, but i have a knock on my 90 240sx stick sohc. when i take of the oil cap the noise gets quiter, how did you find out it was the flywheel? My car runs great so i dont think its gonna be the flywheel, im thinking the valve train.

@Ax3Zent well i went around a turn with the clutch in and then something moved around and my "trans" locked up. couldnt get it into any gear and when i tried revving it, the rpms would seem to slowwwly rise abnormally.

OK smart guy. This is a video to show the issue at hand so I am going to do what I have to to show what it is. The mph going up is a different issue not stated and I know what it is. And 3rd I state in literally the 1st second of the video that it is a cold start, every car idles higher at cold start, not sure if you own a car at your age but maybe if you were old enough to drive your own, you would know that.

You sir ARE a hillbilly and your an idiot, I own a shop and where we scrap cars like yours that are revved in 4 degree weather. BURSTspeed knows what hes talking about, you need to shut the fuck up kid. Stop wasting everyones time, and go lose some weight and work on that lisp you fat fuck.

@240sxGuy3 I dont know if you know that... but the power intake cone filter from Apex-i, is the best air filter on the market (currently)! So now my intake is just the same as a expensive one. But ya im not going for cheap, but as being 17 with currently no job, im on a budget. But ill always have ebay exhausts though, they sound the same and look the same, and give you same power as a name brand. But yet the are disposable when i tear them up, cause they are cheap! Ya know?

@1274521 Well im making that my street/drift/track car so i got a ebay exhaust and test pipe, cause i dont want to tear up and scrape an expensive name brand exhaust! And intake... they are all the same, as long as the intake pipe is a constant radius for smoother air flow! All you need to do to an ebay intake is put a "name brand" cone filter on the end of it, and its just as good as a $300 name brand one! I currently have an Apexi power intake cone filter on the end of my intake!
