When I purchased my new Metric Mechanic 5 speed the information sheet that came with it stated it would rattle and be noisy in neutral with the clutch out. Pushing in the clutch eliminates the rattle. Jim Rowe of Metric Mechanic discussed with me that it was normal and explained why it occurs but I don't recall the explanation.That's my thinking, probably the input shaft bearing since the output has been done. Who knows, we need to pull it in a few weeks and look it over but I would like to make Gary's show with it. It didnt get any worse on the Vintage trip so we should have one more round trip to Atlanta left in it.
Mine does this too. And, alas, I have also forgotten the reason why. But my tranny is quiet while I am driving.When I purchased my new Metric Mechanic 5 speed the information sheet that came with it stated it would rattle and be noisy in neutral with the clutch out.

My 4 speed MM transmission also does this. The information sheet explaining that this was to be expected didn't make it from the PO to me, so I'm really glad to learn this! It (hopefully) eliminates one rabbit hole to go down this winter.Mine does this too. And, alas, I have also forgotten the reason why. But my tranny is quiet while I am driving.
Mine while sitting still and clutch out does make a little noise, not much though. It’s not really a rattle, kind of a low sound. Need to make sure on the input shaft bearing. Or if it’s somewhat normal. ????My 265/6 does not rattle ever, I wonder what causes that symptom?
Mine does not either, silent in neutral and when clutch pressed. Maybe since MM puts new indestructable stuff in it makes noise? Has everyone confirmed the condish of their pilot bearing? I went out of my way to put a German one in there.My 265/6 does not rattle ever, I wonder what causes that symptom?
Thanks a lot Dave. I had a great time!Great to finally meet you, Tom. The Barbarian looked great!
Thanks Dohn,Here are a few shots I got of the entire group. Had a terrific time, and the coupe ran great. Did have to bail out the driver's side mat and carpet after I got home, after driving through torrential rain between Asheville and Hot Springs.
Thanks to Gary for recruiting the coupes. It was a great turnout on what turned out to be a beautiful, if slightly muggy, day.
I vote yes!!!And there was the 14th car not in this photo (I did had pictures of my bare metal chassis on my phone). Does that count?
...and I had my Volvo wagon with e9 parts for sale. Dennis' new gas cap will vouch for me.And there was the 14th car not in this photo (I did had pictures of my bare metal chassis on my phone). Does that count?
