Default CLANK!!!!


Brand new 2002 C5, MN6...

If I depress the clutch, engage a gear, then disengage into neutral, when I release the clutch - clank. Every time. Thoughts?

2 months ago when I got my C5, I asked the same question...

The answer that came back (overwhelmingly) was... it's normal!

Enjoy!

Same thing here....Dealer listened at 3K and said, "Normal Corvette clutch sound." I had him document my concerns on their computer system.

Mine is definitely a CLANK. I think. Marbles in a tin can would scare the hell out of me.

Thanks dude, now I gotta go into the garage and dick with it to make sure it doesn't sound like marbles in a tin can...
