Thumper38   Posted December 15, 2004 I have some growl from the clutch when the lever is out, does anyone else have this? I pulled it apart and found nothing, all is new! 😢 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
del_scorcho   Posted December 15, 2004 My '03 does the same thing while idling in neutral. I believe it's normal. Normal on my '03 anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grayracer513   My Ride Posted December 16, 2004 A growl, or rattling noise with the clutch out, idling in neutral that goes away when you pull in your clutch is normal. What's happening is the engine is speeding up each time it fires, and then slowing down each time it hits a compression stroke. This acceleration/deceleration cycle is transmitted to the transmission via the clutch, and what you hear is the transmission gears banging back and forth against themselves. You'll hear this in same thing in a lot of 4 and 6 cylinder stick shift cars. Nothing to worry about. 😢 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
