hey GPXXX,
what does the rattling noise sound like and when does it happen? clutch in/out, accelerating, what revs, etc. Ive got a rattle from g/box or clutch too.

and any info on prices or advice on places to get it done in melb would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and hopefully cya all at the cruise :)

the rattling starts when the clutch is engaged (ie: clutch out) esp at idle in neutral. it only comes on after 15mins of driving... but no such noise when accellerating though'...

i'm getting my Exedy heavy duty metal clutch upgrade next week @ Ward While Motors in Box Hill ($900 incl parts + labor). it was recommended to me by some mates because they service a lot of imports as well... i was supposed to book it in last week but i it clashed with some plans so i had to reschedule...

Will let you know how it goes once sorted - can't wait, hehehehe!!
