Transmission Rattle

[bchonda]

I recently purchased an '04 with 6500 miles on it, and have noticed a rattling sound in the transmission when I'm stopped and in neutral. The sound goes away when I pull the clutch in, and returns again when I release it.

Anyone else have this? Something to worry about?

I think it is the clutch basket rattling when there is no load on it.
No worry as it is normal and more noticable with quiet pipes.

It is normal. Sometimes adjusting the counter balancers will help this. It pretty easy to do and helps overall smoothness. There is a great article on this site for this procedure.
