Quiz time...

If you heard a metal rattling almost everytime you came out of or into idle, what would be the source of the problem?

Hint: This started when I got the EVO back from the dealership when they replaced my clutch and my synchros.

P.S. I don't know the answer.

Definitely the throw out bearing if the noise goes away when you push in the clutch....do that little test and report your findings here!

If so, it's pretty normal, heaven forbid you get an aftermarket clutch, it's got a worse sound, not louder....just sounds worse.

The first time I heard it, I pushed in the clutch hoping it would help, but no luck.
