Clutch Rattle

Jeffblue · 10-19-2010, 10:45 PM

sometimes its especially noisy for a minute or so when you've, lets say, driven home from work, and pull into your driveway/garage and you get out with the engine still running the clutch sounds like its rattling, then it goes away. anyone else have this happen?

Previously when driving in garage after a drive, I noticed a sound like coolant boiling over into the overflow resevoir you get from heat picking up since you came to a stop. I usually have the radio on so I sort of ignored it. Yesterday I noticed I could feel it in the clutch pedal, then I noticed the noise went away if I let off clutch and put it in nuetral. I guess this is what the rest of you guys call the clutch rattle? I hate it when you take something to the dealer and they say they don't hear it or " Oh, that's normal" I was thinking about taking it in, now it seems this is normal

I feel it as well... not to mention my throw out bearing seems to be making more noise than normal. It only has 14k miles on it so far and the sound seems to go away when I press the clutch down.

When driving the car at low speeds it also tends to make a clunking sound.

I don't think its anything serious, could just be the bearings that are used in the clutch kits, but I find it a little loud for a new car.

This may be related to the CMC issue I read about on here. Failing or weak CMCs could be wearing out the other clutch components faster than normal... I don't think that is going to affect the TOB but hey, you never know. ;-)
