7.3 clutch issues?

Just had my clutch and flywheel changed and was driving it back home and it seems like whenever I lug it or take off in 2nd there’s a helluva grinding that happens primarily when I get off the clutch. The grind doesn’t happen when I’m driving and it drives perfectly fine no issues with shifting or anything yet. Anybody know what that could be?

If you just had the work done, standard procedure would be take it back to the shop and ask the mechanic/ foreman to go for a test drive with you.

The shop is in Kansas because that’s where I broke down and I’m already back to Colorado. I had them test drive it and they just said it was engine noise or something rattling but it’s not something I’ve ever heard before they messed with it

If you'r flywheel cover is there you could try taking it off. Maybe something has play and under a load it contacts the cover.

If they put in a solid flywheel the transmission will make this growlie, grinding noise in first gear and when just idling around.
