ryan31 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 When I turn my car on I can hear a rattle, this rattle is present until I push the clutch in. Once the clutch is pushing in the noise is gone and the car sounds like it should. I have also noticed this rattle while driving and again once I push the clutch in it stops. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcspeer Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Maybe, throw out bearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzam Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Heat shields are famous for rattling. And there are sooooo many on the exhaust. Just a minor change in RPM can cause a harmonic rattle. Look into the simple things first before tearing apart the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hustle Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I just had this same problem on the 91 legacy I recently purchased. I found it was the rattle of the brake assist (which was disabled) cable end bolt against the clutch fork where the the clutch cable connects. Also the clutch cable was loose. I would try tightening the clutch cable first. Maybe just put a little pressure on the clutch fork with your hand while the engine is idling to see if that stops the noise...

1-3-2-4 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I have this same rattle and I only hear it with the clutch petal pressed.. I'd have to check that but I need to find a friend to press the clutch in first if it's the Throw out bearing no biggie gotta pull the motor anyways so more things I can get done the less I have to do later.
