I have a 1998 Type R, just bought it and noticed that when i slow down a rattle noise sounds for about 3seconds, between 3k and 2k revs.

This rattle only happens when de accelerating and dissappeards when the car is in neutral or the clutch is depressed.

I also noticed that the sound is less noisy in Diff Free position, but when i put it in diff lock or one down, the sound is much louder!

Any help or advice will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advnace.

 

what clutch does it have out of interest just wondering if it the exceedy cluth rattle

 

probably just a loose heat shield

 

yeah this is true i have had my heat shield rattle like mad before and it was intermitantas well so really hard to pin point

 

Hi Guys,

Not sure what clutch its come with... Could the rattle be coming from transfer box?? As the sound is louder when is in diff lock position and quiter when in diff free position. Doesnt seem to affect performance tho and the sound only comes when I let go of the accelerator, dropping from 3k to 2k revs.

 

the best thing you can do is to take it a good rep tuning and building comapny and get them to have a listen where about are you in the uk
