I have taken this car to the dealership a few times since I have made my purchase 2 years ago. I hear a rattle when the car shuts down which I was told was normal due to the dual clutch thing this does not bother me much any more. Now I hear a new rattle ALL the time. When I start the car up in the morning and slowly drive down the street, while in first gear decelerating before hitting speed bumps from say 10mph to 0mph I hear what I can only explain as a baseball card in a tire spoke sound..... Constant clicking sound. This sound only goes away when I drive it for a few min, i should say the sound no longer goes away like it use to now its there just not as LOUD as when i first start it up. I am tired of bringing it back to the dealership as they always tell me my car is normal and now that the problem is worse my mileage is now past the power train warranty.

The last time it was in the shop at about 68k miles they replaced the flywheel due to my complaint about the rattle when shutting my car off with the clutch ped out(sound is not there when I shut the car down with the clutch pressed down :}) and the sound got worse after the new flywheel which made me giggle but still the dealership said my car is normal quit bugging them about it.

any ideas?

almost sounds like my 95s14 with my RB25 swap I had done,so the drive shaft rubbed against the frame ( I had a HUGE custom drive shaft which was the cause of the rubbing, all the girls loved it) so I had to get a new drive shaft made to make the clearance so it would not rub under load.

So someone please fix my baseball in the spoke sound. Only happens on deceleration and a TINY TINY TINY bit when accelerating.
