Clutch Rattle (video) - Put my mind at ease please!

[JamesArup]

Howdy folks!

 

So I am still based over in Madrid and don't get anywhere near enough time with the Supra (the plus side being that it's not getting any miles added to it either). I am making my Brother take it to work every now and again to make sure it gets a bit of a run now and again. He sent me this video today as he was worried about the excessive clutch rattle:

There is definitely a non-standard flywheel in there, but no one has been able to identify it so far. It's been in there since I got the car from Japan in 2004. The clutch is a recently-fitted Whifbitz Stage 2 (6-speed) and has been a pleasure to drive with since it went in. I know the rattling is a pretty standard feature of lightened flywheels + aftermarket clutches, but I just want to put my mind at ease. Is this sort of rattle considered "normal" .. it's pretty loud and almost embarrassing when people outside can hear it? It's fine when the clutch is depressed, just starts the rattling once you lift-off (as you can see in the video). It's a 6-speed RZ-S, Single turbo conversion, currently mapped around 515 bhp.

 

Thanks all,

Cheers, James

that will be the fly wheel then every one says they rattle when your not using the standard duel mass on a 6 speed
