hi im new here i have a 89 3ln and when i start it up when the engine is cold it has a rattly/knocking noise coming from the engine but if i engage the clutch it goes release and it comes back and once the engine has wormed up it is not there either was wondering if this is a problem or something that is common cheers
ah dude i guess ur telling that when u press the clutch ur engine sound more calm when u release the clutch u hear a little rattle sound like the engine sound is a little bit less calm if its differ a litle bit its normal thing most fzr do that but if a very noise rattle no its not normal
It sounds like that you have a few noisey gears rattling around in the gearbox when it is cold. Dis-engaging the clutch stops them from rotating and therefore they stop rattling. It is not uncommon and nothing to serious..
