Several have said it's the DMF. One said, when you press in the clutch and don't hear the rattle when shutting down the engine, it's the flywheel. Someone said a spring is broken in the flywheel. One said it's the transmission.
I just cannot believe this rattle is the DMF, or Transmission. The other day after starting the engine, and the car sat in the garage for a few minutes, I started to back out with the engine at idle rpm's around 6 to 7 hundred. When slowly letting out the clutch I hear this rattle. At that engine speed is when things may vibrate, thus rattles might be heard. I don't hear this noise backing up with the engine up to temperature. My thoughts are it's the darn muffler. I have rubber hammered on it several times but don't hear or see anything loose. Dr. Know around?
