Ok so this just started, but when I'm idle and when I let off of the clutch I hear a rattle. I've been looking this up and I've gotten two answers, it's normal and it's a loose clutch bearing. My Oil pressure gauge says is showing really low compared to what it used to be and I can't get an accurate reading on my dipstick as it's showing that the oil is well over high. I'm too nervous to drive it anywhere because I feel like it could be something terribly wrong. Please help me diagnose this. Also there are a few spots on my driveway where I had it parked. Thanks for your time.

rattle is flywheel chatter, low oil pressure is pretty common. at idle mine is barely over the line... and if the oil is well over high, you need to drain some out

Man I get the samething 05 base, but it's only when my transmission is hot. I feel like clutch bearing smh. But I haven't done my transmission fluid flush.

there isn't a "clutch bearing" you have the roller bearing in the block and the throwout bearing which is on the clutch fork. it is your dual mass flywheel making the noise. and like i said earlier, if your dipstick show over the full drain some of that ish out......

Trust what you see on your dipstick (and not the oil pressure gauge), but be certain you are reading the dipstick correctly.

As travlee points out, the rattle is likely flywheel chatter (my flywheel makes noise when it’s cold). It could be low oil, but you believe you could be overfilled with oil (and travlee also wisely warns that isn’t good and describes the correction).

Not to rehash old topics but technically its the transmission making the noise, not the flywheel.

Hench why when you install a single mass fly the sound is amplified.

i'm getting the same problem. noise was there when oem clutch + oem flywheel was installed. noise continued to be there after ACT clutch and oem flywheel was installed.
