i got a 95 mitsu eclipse rs non turbo 420a and its got a 5 speed in it, i just replaced the clutch and throw out bearing, its got 105,000 miles on it and every time i start it up it sounds like a bunch of rocks in a can being shaken especially when its cold, but when i push the clutch pedal in it stops after a second, i already eliminated the throw out bearing possibility, i did hear that most if not all 5 speed 420a rs eclipse's make the noise so if anyone can help please do

Ok the only thing that is connected when in nutrual is the tranmission input shaft it turns the cluster gears. so something in this part of the gear train is making the noise. Bad input shaft roller bearing or cluster gear needle bearings. This is the only parts moving when the clutch is out I have never heard a transmission make the noise you describe and beleave me I have repaired a lot of them in my days of drag raceing. You say you just replaced the clutch, when it is under pressure it make the noise and when unloaded it stops. You did something wrong or you have a bad defective clutch. When you bolt the pressure plate to the flywheel, it has to be pulled down with the bolts evenly working in a chris cross pateren. tightening the bolts a little at a time, back and forth. Check the throw out arm to see if it isn't hitting, it changes angles when clutch is pushed in.

Good answers but I bet you did not have the flywheel resurfaced or replaced when the clutch was replaced. To fix any problem will required removing the transmission again. If you did that I would just get another clutch again since they only cost about 120 or so. Sorry.

Try replacing the transmission oil with a synthetic oil. That will help with cold weather operation.

Low or too thin transmission oil, or a bad bearing.

The gears rubbing against each other or maybe a bearing is loose.
