Rattling issues

TwinningE92 · 04-26-2015, 11:14 AM

Ok so I got my e92 on feb 2 of this year within a week it was in the shop for the turbos and hpfp. A week and a half later my clutch went out.. Fun stuff anyways after i got the car back it was making this weird rattling noise like if the shift rod was slapping around its only between 10-30 mph any suggestions on what it could be? I'm stumped I thought it was a shield and t wasn't I even put it on the air and tried to recreate rhe noise for the shop guys I work with and it disn't so it again.. I've had 2 guys already tell me they have no clue what it could be.. So plleaseeeee help would be greatly appreciated! Il post a video if I can.

I'm also new to these cars, but I believe the shift linkage (depending on build date I believe) has a bend in it. If it's put in the wrong way it may have the ability to hit the transmission. Just a guess. Best of luck.

Yea that's definitely not the linkage. Where did you have the work done? If it's a reputable shop is take it back and tell them to fix it. Now that you have this video they will have something to work with.

Efab motor sports ! He was recommend amongst some people I asked. I asked him if he knew whatbit was and he said he had no clue and I asked him about the linkage because that's the first thing I thought off and with that being said he didn't know what it was I don't wanna deal with him again. It wasn't the greatest service so id rather not go back if I don't have too

Personally I would take it back to Efab and tell them to fix it for no charge as it seems to be a result of the clutch work that they did. Does it happen when a combination of things is happening ie cornering and accelerating, acceleration after a engine break? also can you feel it and if so where (does the whole car shutter or the shit knob vibrate)? And does it only happen in second going 30ish? Does it happen in any other gears?

If you can recreate the problem in other gears I would guess that it is the dmf.

I have a single mass and it only does it in at that mph doesn't matter what gear it is. No stuttering no power issues nothing just the noise
