hi guys. pretty new to this forum thing but here i go...

well when i have the car in neutral just sitting still there's this annoying rattling noise i get from underneath the car. funny thing is when i push the clutch in the sound goes away. i had a weird feeling it might be the clutch so i did get a new clutch kit for my car. (i work for nissan so i bought the kit for 200 bucks, not bad huh?) but do u guys think replacing the clutch would fix the problem?

Its your Throw out Brg---But if you replace that, just replace everything

Nope. Sad to say but when the clutch is disengaged that sound is "normal". There was a post on here a while back going into detail why that sound is created.

Normal to a point......Disingaged, the T/O has no Load on it and will make a little noise. But if bad, will make a lot of noise.

Engaged... there is load and the Ball Brgs are at zero tolerance---Generally no noise, even if bad.

Right now I have a Ford F350 Diesel here that has a trashed clutch and T/O is sounding like its ready to explode, engaged or disengaged.

I asked him ( I knew the answer) if it had given him warning, He laughed. That verified my question

I might add......This Ford F350 also has, just like the Z, a dampened F/W. As with a Z, Im going to trash it and go with a one piece FW

i only have that "sound" on disengage after a hard pull.

normal is as normal does for 03-05 tranny.

i gets the same noise in my 05 Enthusiast 6spd....i hate it...especially at a parking lot...where there are girls...or drive-thrus it sounds so horrible...but i think its just the car...i think its normal...once i drive...no sounds...no vibes...car runs great...just had it serviced...and i dont seem to have any problems...
