Default LT4 Clutch Knocking

I have a 96 LT4 and have developed a knocking sound when the clutch is fully engaged.

Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it. I remember hearing or reading somewhere that this is common. Can't find anything in the FAQ on the sound, search comes up with nothing either.

Thanks

You may get better info in the C4 tech...but when I had my C4 ZF6 tranny...the knock it had was considered gear chatter...I think it was related to that dual mass flywheel getting old...that would cause the ZF gears to rattle together...though I was told it was not going to harm the tranny...but I ended up changing the flywheel and clutch and TO bearing and it went away... I noticed this more when the car was not in gear and the clutch was not depressed...a little different in your case...could be the TO bearing...
