leebottrill Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Is it normal to have a slight clattering noise when pulling off in first? Sounds like a gear rattling! I hoping its normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) emm, nope. where is noise coming from. Might be something stupid like a heat shield. Edited March 10, 2014 by aidan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leebottrill Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Its actually when I'm engaging first! As the clutch is being engaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leebottrill Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Can't work out if its coming from the exhaust or somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Car isn't fitted with a performance clutch is it? These tend to rattle (jingle). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Does it happen all the time or only when the car is cold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Can't work out if its coming from the exhaust or somewhere else. could be the exhaust heat shield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 A light Clutch rattle is quite common on the zeds, But recently I witnessed an extreme rattle which ended up being a broken clutch plate http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/81570-350z-gearbox-rattle/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I know the sound you mean, mine does it too and from what I've heard so do a lot of other peoples. The Z has a very noisy transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leebottrill Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yea its not loud at all. Its just a slight clatter when changing and setting off. Its not every time and its fine when driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 So is it when you engage/slip the clutch or engage the gears with the clutch fully depressed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leebottrill Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 When I engage the clutch as I'm pulling it out there's a slight noise and if Im setting of slow it'll slightly rattle. As soon as I'm off its fine. Like I said its not every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Sounds pretty normal, nearly every zed I've driven does this, even the GTR's do it, unless it starts getting really loud or juddering I wouldn't worry to much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_89 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Mine is the same pal. I thought something was a little wrong. I've had mine for nearly a year now and it still has the same sound to when I first got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
