I was testing my new paradas yesterday on a near by touge when all of a sudden i noticed a rattling sound coming from the gearbox -from the passengers side (drivers side for RHD`s).
What i noticed is as the car revs up the sound gets louder, same frequency but louder. Moreover it stops once i press i the clutch. I remember noticing a similar sound in the past but it only went on in cold mornings and it was a very settle sound.
I thought this might have to do something with the shifter bushings i replaced recently -maybe a washer from a loose bolt i forgot to tight. Jack the car up today, went under it and all was in place. I removed the cat heat shield, tested all bolts under and inside the car and went to test it but no luck.
Gearbox oil was changed 5K km`s ago, flywheel bearing was changed when i did the swap 40k km`s back. Clutch job is due January, after the holiday. Until now OEM clutch is used. Could it be a shaft bearing or the clutch release bearing? I`ve uploaded a couple of short videos i did in case the sound helps determine the cause, until i visit the garage on Monday. In the second one i`m rolling with about 2K revs and i release and press the clutch again. It`s easy to notice the sound it makes when i release the clutch pedal.
