Rattle at idle?

pandacheese · 01-09-2012, 10:41 AM

I just purchased an 09 (manual) and I noticed over the wknd that the car would make a rattle noise while in neutral sitting at idle. When i press the clutch in, the rattle goes away. I searched the forum and online looking for this and couldn't really find anything on it other than some issues with this on the 350's. Has anyone experienced this and if so, does it seem to be an issue? thanks for the help.

Pretty normal. Your issue seems to be the same as others.

Depressed Clutch Noise/Vibration
very loud clutch chatter when in first gear and i depress the clutch...
Clutch tingle?
Lightweight flywheel without the noise?
Clutch Chatter??
knocking noise from the rear? please help!
Throw back bearings making NOISE AGAIN

Thanks for the reply, I had experienced this with a Z06 i owned and it was no big deal, but wanted to make sure this was normal for the 370. Thanks again.

Yeah it seems to be completely normal for these not quite cheap vq37/6mt equipped cars to have a rattling engine sound to make them sound like junk. So annoying!
