Hey guys sorry if this has been asked before, but as you can see I'm new here. Anyway I am having a problem with a loud clanking noise when I push in the clutch in 1st gear. It happens every morning when the tach is near 2300 and I have to push in the clutch to stop. Does anyone else have this problem or know of what it could be?

Thanks
Ben

 

Does anyone have any idea?

 

search or just skim the 1st page of this forum, dude.

I have the same thing. Especially if the car is cold and I press the clutch in fast. Also, it helps to have the window down the hear it.

I think it might simply be play in the drive train. Also, one guy had problems with a noisy heat shield. That could be it too.

Just press the clutch slowly when driving at a leisurely pace.
