re: Death Rattle

hi michael,

it's either the clutch thro-out bearing, or the shaft bearing at the front of the t/a.  at least that's what it's been on my milanos/gtwe6...

   This isn't good, but I hope it is something else. My 1982 GTV6 has developed
   what I termed the "death rattle". When the car is idling low, there is a
   rattling clunking sound that can be heard from the engine area.

   Not sure if it is transaxle, clutch, engine or what. I do envision that
   there is a loose rod somewhere though. Perhaps my "half empty" outlook on
   this car?

   Above idle the car runs great- very peppy with no sounds of clunking or
   rattling.

   Any ideas before I drag her down to the mechanics?

   Thanks,
   Hopeful in New Jersey
