CM 1996 CE LT4 rattle when clutch is up.
Hi

I recentyly got a 1996 collector edition LT4 coupe. After the car has been drove for a while there is a rattle sound when I have the clutch pedal up and in neutral. Push the pedal down and it goes away. It does not do it when car is cold. It is not loud and I think it is doing it when i'm in gear and driving. I sounds like it is under the car, not the pedal. Your help would be greatly appreicated. Any ideas? Thanks.

Tony

Your description sounds like a typical ZF6 sp.!

I forgot to mention the car has 49K miles.
