But starting off in 1st, clutching out, shouldn't give chatter, especially with an OEM setup. I could be wrong...
- Transmission only has 2k miles on it. Nissan replaced it recently. The rest of the car including the stock clutch and flywheel have about 19k on it.
- If I rev up to 1300 rpm or so when taking off in 1st, I can't hear the rattle
^ Anyone?

I was able to rent a 2013 base Z 6mt for comparison purposes. Although mine is a Nismo, I can't imagine they would be too different in regards to transmission behavior minus the SRM feature.

I was able to get the car really hot (around 230 degrees on the gauge) and noticed that the transmission was louder too taking off in 1st. Sometimes it would give off the rattling sound, other times it wouldn't. I still think mine just seems to slightly rattle a bit more. My clutch/flywheel has 5k more than the rental... could the difference be chalked down to that?
