engine noise
 

Hi everyone,
Started my 99 boxster today and noticed a rumble/rattle from the engine! I have no problems with gear selection and the car pulls well with no slipping from the clutch. The car has done 60k so i am hoping it is the clutch and not something more serious? Any ideas?

Rich, how long does this rattle noise last? Seconds or minutes??

The noise does not go! It does not speed up with the car it just seems to rummble/rattle

Could be a lot of things then. Like a loose washer, heat shield or bad cats.

Dont think its the heat shields as i have already sorted that problem out. What would the washer be loose on? Could it be the clutch or would it not make that sound?
