When does the clutch let out does the gearbox Rattle?
Note that this gear rattle only occurs at idle, in neutral, with the clutch let out. It is not heard at any other time. Above idle (even just a couple hundred rpm) and the increased frequency of power pulses outpaces the speed at which the components couple/de-couple, therefore no rattle whatsoever. So how to have the best of both worlds?
Why does the gear rattle make a noise?
The issue with gear rattle is that conventional lightweight flywheels retain the car’s original solid-hub clutch disk. First, the lightened flywheel has less mass to damp the power pulse variations. Second, there is no mechanism within the solid-hub clutch disk to absorb the power pulse variations.
Why does my flywheel rattle when I Clutch the clutch?
First, the lightened flywheel has less mass to damp the power pulse variations. Second, there is no mechanism within the solid-hub clutch disk to absorb the power pulse variations. The result is that a conventional lightweight flywheel with solid-hub clutch may create a noticeable amount of rattle.
What causes a propeller to rattle and chatter?
It is caused by design factors, such as number of cylinders, number of propeller blades, engine speed and number of gear teeth. These may incite natural frequencies of the drive unit to such an extent that tooth flanks separate off and clatter despite their load from the torque.

When does clutch chatter occur in a car?
Clutch chatter is the sudden shudder that occurs when a faulty clutch disk or clutch component is initially engaged.
The issue with gear rattle is that conventional lightweight flywheels retain the car’s original solid-hub clutch disk. First, the lightened flywheel has less mass to damp the power pulse variations. Second, there is no mechanism within the solid-hub clutch disk to absorb the power pulse variations.
When to engage the clutch in first gear?
This annoying condition rears its ugly head when the driver attempts to engage the clutch from a full stop, in either first gear or reverse gear. It can be more obvious in one versus the other.
