hadyn Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I think im getting a rattle from the autobox when in first gear, manual mode and nailing it. The rattle is quite loud and doesnt appear to happen in 2nd gear or when in full automatic mode. Any idea what this is? I recently put 1.9l of type 4 in doing a change, but I have had no idea on what went in previously. Could this be the cause? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Possibly heatshields rattling about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I get a little rattley noise in first just as I pull away. I expect it means spending another small fortune on the car so I don't really want to know what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Well second hand autobox and TC dont cost that much anyway. How much is it to fit a second hand box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Well second hand autobox and TC dont cost that much anyway. How much is it to fit a second hand box? 2nd box - free from very, very nice trader man. Fitting - about £280. That free box is just about the best thing that has happened to me this year by a very, Very, VERY long way indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 My rattle comes from the land of Spite just to taunt me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Im not 100% sure, I cant even hear it with the windows up.... Autobox fluid level is good, looks and smells fine too. I cant get it to rattle when revving in neutral (classic way to look for heatshields) Otherwise, the car seems to shift fine and move fine too. No problem engaging gear or getting into reverse etc...
