    rattle noise?

    after engaging gear at low speed or moving off, i hear a rattle type of noise briefly.

    could this be the clutch or something? or just some vibration thru the exhaust/mani/down pipe or something like that?


    anyone heard this b4?

    could be that your propshaft support is also failing...

        Heat shields are always a good place to start, i had this noise every time i turned the car off.
        Turned out to be h/s mount's around the cat area had corroded.

          i have a makeshift alloy heat shield between the exhaust and inlet manifolds.

          probably just wishful thinking it would be that simple but i hope so.

          interestingly the prop shaft was replaced in 2005 with a brand new item.. even still has stickers on it

          dunno if that helps eliminate a prop shaft issue. dunno.
