Ive been noticing a rattleling sound when you depress the gas on the higher gears, typically in 5th, i can hear it in the other gears but 5th seems to be the most present. Like if you were going 50mph and you let go of the gas and decel, you can hear it. can anyone tell me what is that please?

 

It could be loose clutch bolts

 

does it happen all the time? I get a rattling sound in low gears when cold. it goes away after the engine warms. may be it could be a lose exhaust manifold bolt

 

I get some rattles too I think mine may be down pipe related

 

It could be your exhaust. I used to get that as well with my exhaust when it was cold!

 

sounds like loose heat shields on the down pipe

 

Or tranny, happened to me in August. If you still have a cat, it could be the shield rattling.

 

yes it happens every time i'm in 5th gear

 

yes, i still have a cat on it

 

what clutch do you have?

 

i think a stage 2 or 3 clutch, the person that had it before me had changed the clutch, but the evo was at an auction, but i know that the clutch is not stock.

 

Check for loose heat shields. The stock exhaust uses a pretty ****ty design of heat shielding plates held in place by band clamps. Well, the ****ty design really is the material chosen for the heat shielding as it rusts through pretty easily. The area of the shielding that slides under the band clamps can rust apart and allow the heat shielding to rattle around.

 

alright then. thank you everyone for helping me out about this problem, now i can tell my mechanic what the problem might be. thank you
