Beanboy Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Getting a rattle from a stop just as the RPMs hit their lowest point as clutch fully engages. Can't hear when starting. idling, or any other gears. Might get a touch of it if I short shift to 2nd, again low RPMs. It is fairly quiet... windows up and a car behind me or beside me at a light and I can't hear it. Gonna check the trays and heatshields tomorrow, but any known suspects for a low-RPM rattle? I was driving around on dirt roads Saturday, betting a rock got where it wasn't supposed to or something loosened up. -B -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deimos Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I get it too, since subie replaced my clutch... a little shuddering as the clutch just engages rolling slowly from a stop. Actually mine is more of a "chatter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beanboy Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Update...still haven't checked anything, hehe. Seems to happen right around 1800RPM in 2nd clutch fully engaged, and on a normal clutch engagement just as the clutch pedal comes fully up, and right around the same RPM. Slower release doesn't do it, and a fast release does make the noise, but only for a split second. Will poke around tomorrow morning... -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanboy Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 So, finally found out where the rattle is coming from...I think. Sounds like the silencer/resonator area. Something internal? Heatshield? Only the phantom knows... It was dark at the time and the car was hot, will crawl under tonight and try to pinpoint. Anybody else have a rattling resonator? -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 ^ Didn't another Stage II'er manage to blow a couple of pieces of his third cat down into his resonator? <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanboy Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hehe, certainly could add it to the list, although it only happens at prime heat shield rattling RPM, ie just at clutch engagement, revving in neutral off-throttle with revs dropping around 2.5K. Remember anything else from the thread tsi+wrx? Gonna start searching... -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 ^ I've so far come up empty on my searches, but I believe his was a case of having an annoying rattling/resonance at certain RPM.... I'll keep trying, too! <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanboy Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Really need to crawl under and go over the area where I had heard it and check for any bends on the heat shields/anything loose from the dirt road driving, especially the big ol' ones around the silencer/resonator. Really odd that it sounded like it was closer to the front when in the car. Sneaky sound waves... Hmm, rubber mallet whacking for the win! -B -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I believe that this was the origin of the problem, here: http://legacygt.com/forums/turbo-powertrains-2-0gt-2-5gt-2-5xt/35526-stage-2-one-minor-irritation-rattle.html?highlight=exhaust+rattle But I am failing in my attempt to find his "resolution" thread...... <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
