My11 Wrx Rattle

[Gino86]

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

The internet will sort this out shortly for you.

That really could be any number of things.

You could record a video, put it on youtube and post it here? Might help with diagnosis.

Dont they have subaru forums?

Probably, but since when do we turn away any other car person?

If you hadn't noticed, we haven't had 'skyline' in our name for quite some time.

And, by your logic, I wouldn't be allowed to post either.

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

[Gino86]

Prank. Here's a video from inside. Thanks

Can't hear any rattles in those vids. 1,500-2,000 rpm seems pretty low (I have a MY10 Liberty turbo and it doesn't like being below 2,000rpm).

I can't hear anything either but a video makes it very hard to tell, as nizoman said I've got an Sti and it doesn't like being under 2,000rpm or it labours

speaking of which can we have a Subaru section?

[Hadouken]

Do these have a dual mass?

[admS15]

Just put an sr20 in it and then the rattle will be a standard feature that was built/engineered into the car from factory

[admS15]

On a more serious note. Getting rattle sounds at those low revs with aftermarket clutch and flywheel is pretty normal.

I have a rattle when the clutch is pushed in on my Liberty, found out on Saturday during pink slip. It seems to have a heavier than normal clutch.
