Default 08z MT problem? anyone?

I just got a new 08z MT, and it seems like the clutch is making a chattering noise when it's in neutral. The noise goes away if the clutch is pushed in. I've been driving MT for a long time and never had this problem before. Should I take it to the dealer? I barely have about 1,000 miles on it!

That noise is all normal. The xmsn housing on the Z is kind of "clunky". The noise generates from been a dry clutch system. On some cars the noise is louder than others.

I've noticed that once the car warms up (probably the tranny actually) the noise goes away.
