Default Help please!

My sc300 is making noise when I take off. It makes the noise when I take off and release the clutch (even when I take off on reverse), it only makes it when im taking off, once I shift into second, third, and so forth, the noise goes away. What do you guys think it is? the clutch? flywheel? and how much do you think its gonna cost to fix?. Thanks for your help

impossible to tell without at least some description...

possible causes - motor mounts, driveshaft bushings, rear end bushings, suspension bushings / ball joints, brake issues, driveshaft couplers, not to mention throw out bearing, clutch failure, loose flywheel bolts, so on and so forth...

Mitsuguy is right and don't forget the SC300 is bad about the exhaust hanger that help secured the front pipe to the transmission always broke off.
