Clutch/Tranny Rattle - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello everyone. I am new to the site and look forward to the experience.
I just picked up my 2014 SS/RS 1LE yesterday, 10-08-13. What an awsome machine. Just sold my 67 Camaro to a collector who is going to turn it into a pro-touring ride to match his 69. I'm good with where it went...a good home.

I notice a tranny or clutch linkage rattle sometimes when i take off or awkwardly shift to another gear. I know this was a commom noise on some of my older toys and I'm hoping things have not changed. Can anyone comment on this please.

It is probably just the slack in the drive train you are hearing. There is no external shift linkage on modern transmissions.

Thats true, no linkage, i was thinking more along the lines of a z-bar/clutch linkage....if there is any. i have not been under a newer car in years and really need to learn how the hydraulic systems operate. Talked to an old friend who is was a gm engineer, he said the sounds are normal....even more so with a performance car such as the ss. Thanks for the reply.

I get a kind of buzzing sound when I depress the clutch, and it goes away as soon as I release it. Works great, just has this sound.

My '07 Sol GXP did it too. Normal.

No Z-bar misalignments (thank God)

My SS does that, too.
