Rattle

[LuisFlores99GT]

Hearing a rattle from the back of the engine..2000 Rpms around there..
Seems to be only doing it with the clutch in..
Bad Flywheel?

possibly pilot bearing? is it hard to shift? does it grind going into gears?

or maybe the throw out bearing? does it go away after the clutch is ALL the way out or after the disc/input shaft have caught up with the flywheel/pressure plate?

EDIT: after re-reading your post, i am going to guess that this is a new noise and is probably not loud enough to diagnose yet. however either of the two bearings would make noise up the entire rev range. Perhaps it is too early to tell?

I dont think is throw out bearing cause wouldnt it do it at idle to?
Rattle seems to only come on at certain rpm and i tried to pin point were its coming from..neighbor told me it was just something loose..either a thrust bearing or the fly wheel on the clutch..he had the same problem all he did was tighten the bolts and it went away

can you say for sure that the clutch has a effect? harmonics do strange things. It could be as simple as the heat shields on the catalytic converters. check those.

I have no Cats
Now its doin it at 3000 Rpms...Whenever im changin gears and letting the clutch go i feel a little rattle there..and when i lightly press on the gas it will rattle

Sounds to me taht the sheet metal shroud that sits on the dowl pins may be cracked causing it to rattle slightly. Check that out

where would that be located??

In between the engine and the flywheel/clutch.

Yea its in between the bell housing and the engine block. Its a huge sheet metal spacer and sits on the dowl pins on the engine block.
