Low speed clutch rattle

BlkReaper · 01-07-2016, 02:25 PM

I'm not sure if it's the clutch or not but when going really slow, maybe 5mph then pressing the clutch, there is a metallic rattle coming from somewhere. I'm not sure when I will take it in but I will soon.

Could be a little clutch chatter.

I have the same thing on mine but it is pretty consistent and doesn't sound like anything is hurting.

Curious if this is normal. I think I remember my 5th gen doing the same thing.

Yes I have noticed this but feels like more of a common situation with clutches and low speed disengagements. At least for me it is only when you depress the clutch.

Does anyone know if the flywheel is single mass or dual mass on the Gen 6? In the C4 (Vette) with the ZF tranny, a switch from a dual mass flywheel to a single mass flywheel would result in horrible chatter that sounded like your engine was literally falling apart when at idle and with the clutch engaged and in neutral. It could be the same but to a letter extent in the gen 6.

I was wondering the same thing. This happens in the BMW world also.

Going to guess Infiniti/Nissan is made the same. Heard it in my M6 Q60s not long after getting it in the exact same conditions. Couldn't get anyone to tell me what the cause was..Sounds terrible. But now I know...

I have this low RPM rattle as well on my A8.

it sounds like change in a can or something like that. its consistent.

Any ideas?

I just took my car and noticed the same thing.. I thought I am ****ing up... like when the car starts moving in 1st gear... and then I want to move into 2nd....I press the clutch all the way in...and the sounds there... like its screeching... once I let go off the clutch its fine... :(

It's the throwout bearing. Perfectly normal.

I see GM is still putting junk clutches in the Camaro. Mine sounds like some one throwing a box of hammers down the stairs. Was told it's "normal". Have they at least fixed how jerky and temperamental it is?

A lot of cars have clutch rattle, not just GM.

I've driven several imports with MT as well as a couple offerings by Dodge and Ford and have never heard such a clunking rattling hot mess as I have in this Camaro. It's really the only thing I don't like about the car.

From 1st to 2nd you can hear noises.. I think it's normal, dealer said it's normal so what gives.
