Weird Engine Noise...
Hey,
Very recently, sometimes when I'm parking my G once I've arrived at my destination, when my car is idling, I hear kind of like a knocking sound coming from the engine. I have over 12K miles on my Coupe now and I have never heard this noise before....it's not my chattery clutch and it's definitely coming from the engine. While I'm driving, I don't care enough to try to pay attention to it. But after I've parked, sometimes the noise is there and sometimes it's not. I use premium fuel always and I've been servicing my Coupe at the recommended intervals....no lights from the car telling me something is/may be wrong. I'm just gonna keep driving it because the sound doesn't always occur and the car isn't telling me anything, but does anybody have any idea of what it might be???? To me, it sounds like engine knock, but why would it be happening???
Thanks,
MrElussive

Re: Weird Engine Noise...
I'm glad you figured it out bro. Sometimes these noises can be a little disturbing.

Re: Weird Engine Noise...
Yeah, exactly. It seriously sounded like engine knock which made me pretty nervous. I knew my clutch chattered when I had the clutch out, but I didn't know it made that other noise when I push the clutch in, lol.

Re: Weird Engine Noise...
I know the noise you're talking about. Its the throw-out bearing for the clutch. Its very common noise with RWD manual trannies. It's completely normal. Every RWD manual car I've ever owned has made the same noise with the car idling in neutral with the clutch out. Push the clutch in, and the noise disappears. Nothing to worry about.

Re: Weird Engine Noise...
Yup, thanks for the post, Z06ified. At first I thought it was coming from the engine (which could have been a big problem). But then when I realized it was coming from the clutch, I immediately knew not to worry.
For me, it's a bit different than you described. When I am sitting in neutral and I have the clutch let out, I have the clutch chatter noise going on. Then when I push the clutch in, the noise sounds totally different. I know it's completely normal now, I just didn't know what the sound was coming from until I figured it out the other day. =)
I guess I'm officially part of the chattery clutch crew now. =P

Re: Weird Engine Noise...
It may not be completely normal! I had the same problem. I understand there was always the "normal" noise, but mine seemed way louder than others. See if you can find another to compare. Mine was more noticeable after a fairly long drive when the car was good n warm. I brought it to the dealer and they ended up having to replace my clutch b/c the pressure place busted! My noise was very audible outside the car, while it was idling. It also went away when the clutched was engaged (down to the floor), but it was very loud, sounded like marbles in a coffee can! BTW - I had about 11,500 miles on the G when I brought it in.

Re: Weird Engine Noise...
should i be bringing that up to the dealership? cause i have the exact same problem as u...it only starts making that noise after a long drive and sounds "louder" then the normal noise as well. im at 13000 KM.
Re: Weird Engine Noise...
ABSOLUTELY. My dealer immediately tried pushing the blame on me making it sound like I would have to pay for it if it was over 12K. I put them right in their place and was like....back the F up!!! I have been driving stick since I was 16 (11 years now) so don't tell me It's driver error!! I got 120K out of the clutch in my Explorer so don't go there! They shut up and fixed it real quick! Just be clear that they will probably tell you its NORMAL! Have you noticed that your G seems to lack a little power. I kinda noticed mine felt sluggish before it being fixed. The clutch wasn't slipping, but it felt like the power wasn't getting to the wheels!
