My11 Wrx Rattle

Hi guys,

I recently had my MY11 WRX clutch replaced as the previous throw out bearing had given way. When I drove the car away I noticed a rattle in 2nd gear in the 1500-2000rpm range. The mechanic suspected a heat agile but he removed them and the rattle was still there. I'm thinking his knocked/dropped something and that has loosened something internally.

If someone could help with some answers as to what could be vibrating that would be appreciated and would help me with my case against the mechanics..

Cheers,

Gino

I was more getting at a subaru forum being more helpful (as more likely to come accross someone who has had the same issue)

But it was a bit of a blunt comment in hindsight

Haha, I think my reply was a little blunt too. :)

All good, Your point is a fair one. And I have absoloutly no problem with those that have been around and are done with the Skyline scene posting here and contributing to the forum etc. Just OP has joined the forum to specifically ask a question about a WRX. It's got me more confused then anything

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
