Hi guys and girls,

I just installed a new xtd clutch and flywheel on my 350z (2004) and when I went on a test drive I can hear this rattling sound before and during I engage the clutch in first and second gear.
I hope you can help me figuring out what this could be.

Flywheel chatter. Very common when you go with a light weight flywheel. Especially with a cheap steel xtd one.

 

I have a jwt flywheel and it only make noises in neutral with the clutch pedal out...

 

I changed the clutch on my 04 z and I have the same problem. I get a rattling noise for a second or two. what would be the fix to this? My clutch has a one year warranty, do you guys think it would cover it?

 

Nope. ^ this is how the car is built and designed. Its just a sound, nothing is breaking.

End thread.

 

it wasn't doing it until i installed the new clutch though.

 

Is the flywheel OEM? If not, it rattles... Normal.

 

Recently had a used tranny and Southbend Clutch + Flywheel combo installed on my 04 z. Is experiencing the same thing as OP described, and it runs fine. You've got nothing to worry about! Though I understand it can be pretty annoying and loud at times

 

ya mine is oem. its still under warranty so I'm going to take it to the shop on friday and see what happens
