Since I had my car I have had a problem where my clutch makes a loud noise to where it kind of sounds like a diesel engine. My car right now has 6,000 miles and last time I got my oil changed I told them about it and they said they can’t find anything wrong with it and that everything is performing as it should… I know the clutch is going to make a little noise but it seems like my clutch is louder then normal... if anyone has any info it will be greatfull

Apply more throttle as you equalize in-between gear shifts.

i don't think that is the problem because it makes that noise only when i am stopped somewhere and don't have the clutch pushed in

i get a loud sound sometimes too when slowing down and coming to a stop in first gear before clutching in and putting it in neutral...sometimes pushing the clutch in makes a really loud noise/chatter when coming to a stop

Its the nature of the beast. Ive driven an 04 G, my 06G, an 03Z, and an 06Z. Guess what? When coming to a stop and pushing in the clutch, you hear a loud clapping clank, on all of em. Simply the nature of the 6MT. Nothing is wrong. I promise you

One thing is a 'rotational' sound, which I'd assume it's not normal, and another is the clunking associated with disengaging gears, which sounds normal.
If I were you, I'd try to drive another 6MT and see if it does it. I test drove one (and am going to again today) and didn't notice that at all. Will pay attention this time and post again.

As a related comment, I always push the gear lever to N without the clutch when revs are it idle when not stopping suddenly, which is most of the time. That might spare you the aggravation to hear that.

I get the same thing! it's because of a lighter flywheel. Nothing wrong.

I think i get the same noise.. only in neutral when i release the clutch..

Me too.. same noise when I released the clutch in neutral.

All combustion engines will have vibrations associated with with the power strokes and depending on the design (I4 I6 V6 V8 V12 etc...). Some engine configurations are better balanced than the others e.g. I6 and V12s and of course twin-rotary engines... Without digging into the physics of smooth running engines under the forces of internal combustion, All engines will start to vibrate quite intensely below their stated idle rpm...Since it is below the idle rpm that the engine is not rotating very smoothly anymore.... Therefore if you don't have a heavier flywheel the clutch plates will rattle (as they are designed to absorb shocks also) with the quivering engine rpm dropping to 0 from 600-700.

The 6MT has a lighter and stronger flywheel for performance reasons...it's a sports car enjoy it!! :-)

Glad to hear this because I have the same sound. Especially noticeable in the garage. But when the car is in "N" and the clutch is released it makes a terrible ratte. As soon as you press the clutch to the floor it goes away.

So knowing everyone else is experiencing this is a relief for me.

reading these posts makes me paranoid about my car. ill probably here it now on the way home. t-minus 35 an counting

zackt

I have it in mine too. I also have the chirp noise in 1st gear.

Dude i have the same problem .. my first gear sounds like **** from 1000 rpm to 3000 rpm sounds like im super charged haha... but sounds messed up in a way .. i went to the dealer and they said the same thing they said it runs good and they dont see nothin wrong with it . i show aamco experts on transmissions and they said its my clutch . i beat my car up right when i got out the lot. is yours manual

The reason for the chatter is due to the light FLYWHEEL.

When I touch my girls Gspot she do this why??
