SlightlyEvil Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Car is 2005, 5mt, Stage 2, MR Catback, MR up-pipe, Invidia DP. When I roll off from a stop in first gear I hear a rattle noise coming from behind the stereo area, can't tell if it's infront or behind the firewall (engine bay or trans) though. Car performs well otherwise, no clutch issues, no grinding, just this light but noticable rattle noise in first gear when I roll off. Only hear it on first gear pulling away from stop, no issues once clutch is fully engaged in first or shifting to/in other gears. Transmission makes the usual whine in first and second others have mentioned, but don't think that is related. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ed Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I have the same exact issue, Dealer said it was my clutch going (hot spots on clutch) replaced clutch...still have the issue mine almost feels like it is under the driver side wheel well dealer has no idea of what it is.

SlightlyEvil Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 I'm wondering if it's actually something to do with a bushing or mount somewhere? It seems like it only does it when the engine loads up. Perhaps an endlink or a transmission mount that is rattling a bit? It's a pain to diagnose because you'd need to have your head under the car to find the source while its in motion and putting the engine under load. If a 5eat is hearing the exact same thing i wouldn't imagine it's the tranny then. Anybody else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subie_dude05 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 yup....glad i searched. i get the rattle when i first start out in first (i have a 4eat) and its just as it starts to get a load on it. and then it stops and if i stop or almost stop it does it again when i start to go. anyone figure it out?

subie_dude05 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 monthly bump, i did read that the exhaust has a mount near the transmission and after some miles it comes loose and needs to be adjusted. i haven't had really any time to roll under the car and investigate.

JoeFromPA Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Mounts/bushings/heatshields Come loose with time and sometimes rattle under unique harmonics. One of the most shocking rattles I ever saw was when my wife's 2003 Saturn Ion, with 36k miles and 3 years on it, had somehow torn a 1-8"- 1/4" thick exhaust heatshield in half and the halves were rattling against each other. Thing was freaking thick solid metal. I just pushed them an additional 1/2" apart and let them vibrate freely Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 does it sound sorta like a crunch/rattle? i hear a funny noise on take off from a stop. usually on first take off though after starting the car, and dont notice it again if i've stopped while driving.

subie_dude05 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 for me its a rattle. it happens anytime i have slowed to a stop and then start to move again. it was happening occasionally... now its almost everytime i start again after stopping. i need to roll under the car and see if i see anything loose.
