Q: So basically, when the car is idling, the clutch makes a kind of rattling noises and when you pull off in third gear.

asked by on January 23, 2017

So I recently bought this car today, and the guy said he replaced the clutch and resurfaced the flywheel. But I guess in doing so something didn't go completely correctly. Because when the car is idling the clutch makes a rattling, kinda of grinding loose kinda of sound. Not loud but noticeable. And when the clutch is engaged, it's stops. Only in 1st gear or in low Rpm's does it make noise. while pulling off really. Please let me know.. thank you
