NO, not at all. First, you can't hear it when the engine is on. It's impossible to hear your gears' sounds

. If your engine is off and you moving your car forward and backwards so you see if the gears are working and you hear a horribl;e sound, i don't know. Mine are both really smooth. The clutch bell is SILENT

When I start my engine; the clutch makes a ting ting sound all the time. I guess couple of teeth's are knocked off. Is it true?

What do you mean that the teeth are knocked off? Anyway, i know what you are talking about this ting ting sound. I didn't have experinece with mine but from my friends'. I think it was the springs. I don't remember exactly. Or might be that the whole engine moved a little and the sound was coming from the teeth of the clutch bell when they were hitting the teeth of the spur gear. Is your clutch bell moving when you are in idle?

Worn teeth? Is there any heavy friction while you pushing your car forward?

Yes there is a little friction when I push the car. The clutch is moving as well. Hope I haven't lost a couple of teeths.

A lot of friction? Don't forget to release the brakes when you tell me this. If so, unscrew the engine's screws and move the engine until is free from the spur gear or make it mesh a little, and try again to push the car forward. The friction is the same? If the friction now is less, that means that you overmesh the teeth and you need to find a good mesh between clutch bell's teeth and spur gears' teeth.

PS When you are going to move the engine, be carefull not to leave it in a position that the teeth will stuck somewhere.

But i think that this isn't your sound problem, but anyway you must fix it before you run your car, because the teeth may be chewed

12????? That's a very low high speed you got there. With the 14 you will see difference, that's for sure. Put a 15 instead. It's a medium clutch bell. The acceleration and the top speed are more balanced. Of course, it always depend on your engine

I found a stripped(wont tighten)center diff mount screw(that was maybe throwing the balance off I believe with the combination of worn bell to make noise)so either I'll just put a bigger one(screw in place of original)in for now or I do have one(center diff mount)ordered...there only $5...
