    Hello everyone. Hoping I can get some insight on this issue.
    Replaced my spark plugs and ignition coils about a week ago after my check engine came on stating the problem. Switched all four out and fired it up with no issues. Once I took it on the road though, anytime I decelerated by downshifting, at around 2500 rpm, the engine (or something) makes a strange grinding noise. If I hold the clutch in or go below roughly 2500 rpm, it goes away. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Yep. Just checked and some nuts fell off that weren’t tight enough. Will replace and see if it fixes it.
