Strange Noise At Start-Up
Hey all,
I've noticed, especially when the car is cold or been sitting for a while, what sounds like a vibration/rattling noise when I start the car. I hear it only when the car is standing still with the clutch depressed (of course) when the car is initially started. The noise is not present once the car settles into idle, or if I rev the engine in neutral/clutch depressed. Any ideas as to what could cause this noise? Something loose? My mods are in my signature.
Thanks,
Matt
