This has gotten a little off topic, but hopefully nobody minds...
I have a rattle somewhere near where my dash meets my windshield and I can't figure out what it is for the life of me. I thought it was the plastic fittings around the gauge cluster but that doesn't seem to be it. Anybody else have this and figured out what it is? It's driving me insane. |

yup, normal noises. the 2nd gear shifting noise is probably the diff moving a little bit. it's meant to do that (that which does not bend, will break kinda thing). making sure to push the clutch all the way in for that shift may help. also, double check your brake master cylinder and slave cylinder fluid levels, if you are a little low on clutch fluid you may not be getting full pressure on the throw out bearing so the clutch would be slightly more engaged than it should be causing the transmission to "clunk" into gear, tho i would think if that were the problem it would be noticeable on most gears

I just got my 2011 Nismo and have the same noises. I believe it is chatter from the cltuch flywheel assembly which is normal for a race car like the Nismo.

Hey guys, sorry to revive this thread. I'm a new owner and was searching the forums and came across this thread basically describing what I have.
In neutral, clutch out, idling and I get a whining noise. Clutch in and it's gone. Let it out and it starts up again. Looks to be the input shaft bearing and you guys are saying this is normal? I have 17k miles. Other than the whine, the car shifts fine and no other odd noises. I'm just curious because I've also read threads on other forums saying that the whine is the first sign of the input shaft bearing failure which can cause harm to the gears and could ultimately ruin the trans. Am I just over-reacting? |
Yea it's the throw-out bearing. I think it's normal. Almost every 370z 6MT has this noise and I haven't heard anyone reported any issue related to it. Mine is 09. Had this noise all the time and no problem so far.

yea my truck was the same way, i don't hear it anymore (133k miles) but that's what's got me worried lol

One to Two pennys in ech hole. Then walla,, no more rattle.
Worked every time.... |
from what i understand most of the noise isnt from the trany or clutch "the rattle" although its located there as far as sound goes. its because of the rest of the drive train. the lighter it is, the more noise it makes. this goes all the way from the fly wheel to to the rear coupling on the drive shaft. this also has a carbon fiber "partial" drive shaft. less rotational mass means its easier to torque around and change direction, so when you engage and disengage the clutch and try to get the car to move these parts shutter because they are lighter. trust me, swap to a lighter flywheel and the noise will be 10X worse. the Z isnt the only one that does that, next time your beside a vette, listen. them and many other cars do it too. its just easier to hear on our car because we dont have a big noisy V8 going RAWR RAWR RAWR all the time covering all the other sounds the car makes.

It's the flywheel and clutch rattling.
