Default GT 5 speed clutch noise or " clutch chatter".

When the GT is iddling and in neutral, there is a slight noise from under the driver side front wheel. It sounds like rain drops falling. (First time I noticed it inside the garage with driver side door open, I thought it was starting to rain outsie.) When I press in the clutch even 1/3 way down, the noise goes way.

Is this something I should be worried about. My GT was built in June of 03 and have no recalls or TSB.

I did a search on this topic but nothing came up.

Thanks in advance,

Yes, it is a very faint rattle noise. I will be dropping by the dealer this week sometime to see what they say.

This maybe normal, not sure. Under normal condition, I do not here the noise now. But only after good run (like 1hr drive), put the car in neutral, push down on the clutch and back off.... and the rattle noise is faintly audible.

I HEAR IT TOO, BUT ONLY ON A COLD START, LIKE IN THE MORNING, ONCE THE CAR IS UP TO NORMAL RUNNING TEMP I DON'T HEAR IT ANYMORE.

KEEP US POSTED ON YOUR FINDINGS.
