Default Car rattles when shut off


Sence the car has been pick up the noise come's only when you shut it off ,it seems to be getting louder as the miles are put on ,the noise sounds like lose bolts .... I have put the car on the lift to find it ,( NOT READY to take to the dealer yet HAVE HAD BAD EXPERIENCES WITH THE DEALERS AROUND HERE,IF I CAN DO IT BY FIXING IT AND SAVE A HASSLE I WILL )and try to duplicate it and try find it my self but no luck yet ,also thought maybe the exhaust system somewhere because on the lift the car has different pressures applied so it stiffen the car different as it sits on the ground ??

It dosent make the noise when running
has anyone have the same experience with there Z06 at all?,
thanks
Gary :chevy :D

Do you have the clutch pushed in while shutting off? Does it make the noise if the clutch is in and out (neutral)?

It's normal. Don't worry about it. They all do it. It's mentioned in the video.

Yes, it does rattle. Hold the clutch in. Noise is part of the torque tube design with the rear mounted transaxle.

Is the engine still running when the noise happens or is it after you turn it off?
