Customer concern of "rattling" noise from transaxle area with clutch pedal out, transaxle in neutral, and engine at curb idle.

PARTS REQUIRED

1 Disc PN 4377521

DIAGNOSIS/REPAIR

The engine and transaxle should be at their normal operating temperatures. With the engine idling, transaxle in neutral, and the clutch pedal out, listen for gear rattle. Raise the engine idle speed slightly to see if the noise disappears. If the noise disappears or is significantly reduced, then replacement of the clutch disc will be necessary to correct the neutral gear rattle.

1. Remove transaxle per the appropriate service manual instructions.

2. Replace clutch disc.
3. Reinstall transaxle.

4. Road test the vehicle to assure that problem is corrected.
