Rattling from transmission

[Blackened GT]

I have an 60k mi 03 gt with the 3650 transmission. Back in march I had a new clutch put in and for about a couple of months I have had this rattling coming from the bellhousing. My guess is that its the throw out bearing because when I push the clutch in the noise stops. My other guess is that its the input shaft. Any clue what it is?

Is this obvious and I'm just stupid or does any not know what I'm talkin about. Either way I'd like to find out something. Give me some ideas. I guess no one else had this problem...

its kinda hard to tell without hearing it. Mine had a squeaking type noise before i changed my clutch and it was my throw out bearing

hmm. could be a loose bolt maybe even a flywheel bolt. seen that before.

The rattling only happens when the clutch is out and i can't hear it when its in gear. It kinda sounds like a rock rolling around.

it could be the throwout bearing. Do you have an aftermarket quadrant and firewall adjuster?

 

[Blackened GT]

No I don't. but the factory one is self adjusting.

Well. Technically it is.

Drop the 80 bucks and buy a firewall adjuster and quadrant. You'll be happier and you won't have to worry about it.

obviously this is old but throw out bearings are in use when the clutch pedal is in, so that would mean your situation would involve the input shaft bearing if anything since it occurs when the clutch is out. That means its definitely inside the transmission, rip 'er open!

Clutch out as in pedal up?

Clutch out and in gear = no noise.
Clutch out and in nuetral = noise or no noise?

How much do you have to press the pedal down to stop the noise?

This throw out bearing was put in this past March. It rattles when the clutch pedal is up/ when the clutch is engaged, the car is out of gear, and not moving.

It might be the fingers skimming the bearing or the linkage rattling as the fingers are just touching the bearing.

What happens when you apply the slightest pressure to the pedal. Not to disengage the clutch just to make the bearing contact the fingers and spin.

Right when I start to disengage the clutch to get the rattling to goes away. Sometimes the rattling is worse than other times.
