My evo did this too..but I figured my rattle out. My turbo down pipe was hitting that lower sub frame cross member tube. Even with the spacers it just barely was touching it causing the rattling noise. I put some more washers in it and no more rattling. The car still makes pretty loud gear noise when on decel in gear and other **** rattles on the car too, but one rattle down...about 3 more to go.

Interesting. Will be checking this out on the next oil change. After driving through a big water puddle my EVO started buzzing around 3000 rpm @ 40 mph. Will also check heat shields. At first could swear it was the ABS pump or the ACD pump. :-/

Could be a bunch of things, you need to run it on a lift and inspect. I've seen everything from input shafts gone bad to shredded transfer cases, but the majority of issues are things rubbing from mods so don't start worrying yet.

Bumping this thread up. I recently had to replace my downpipe and temporarily put the stock DP on while I waited for the new one. But I noticed while on the stock DP that the decel rattle had reduced considerably, almost to none at all. I got my new 3" downpipe, put it on, rattle is noticeably worse. I also had to put spacers on the tie bars so there's about 1/4" gap (is that enough?).
I'm going to do a test drive without the tie bars on but does anyone have any other suggestions ? I'm almost thinking of going back to the stock DP and accept the minor power loss just to reduce that rattle.
Same rattle as everyone else, decel rattle more noticeable in 4th/5th gears.

I've had this for over a year now after some drivetrain work (new t-case). I believe it started when the trans was reinstalled in a sloppy way. Some theories are throwout bearing or input shaft bearing, something like that. I remember reading that it's possible to rest the transmission on something while putting it back in which could cause this.
I don't remember the exact details but it's an obnoxious deceleration noise that's harmless, even though it sounds like something is seriously wrong. Happens ONLY when decelerating in gear, silent with the clutch in, acceleration or idle. I gave up.

Yes same here. I have a built jacks trans with RS lsd and an overhauled tcase so it leads me away from thinking it’s any of those. The noise is horrible and it honestly sounds like someone is shaking a can of rocks on deceleration. I just wanted to make sure it was somewhat normal.

no, i had a bad throwout bearing that was loud as hell that went on for about 4 months until i got it fixed. i got lucky it didnt go out on me until i got it replaced when i did my clutch.
DO NOT NEGLECT A BAD THROW OUT BEARING. the noise is there to tell you its bad.
