Hey people,
Hoping someone can help me out.
When starting up my car I have noticed a rattle coming from the gearbox.
It is a bit of a weird description but it sounds kind of like a paper clip or a small coin in the dryer.
After it warms up it gets a lot quieter but is still there. It is not the input shaft bearing as the noise is there all the time regardless of when the clutch is in or out.
I have never heard it from inside the car though, you can only really hear it from outside.
Also at really slow speeds like driving around car parks and pulling out of the drive way letting the clutch out there seems to be a whining grind but it is not all the time.
I know the clutch is pretty heavy duty however I am not sure what it is as the guy I bought the car off told me he couldn't remember what it was but he paid around 2500 to have it put in and it is very heavy.
I have no problems with gear shifts and it never slips.
If anyone had some ideas about what it could be I would appreciate it.
Cheers,
Andy
