I was wondering if anybody has noticed this: my 05 6 speed sometimes makes a soft pattering/rattling noise when the tranny is in neutral and the clutch is out. the noise goes away when i push the clutch in. what is it? does anybody elses do this? and last but not least should I be worried? if it makes a difference i just turned over 5,000mi.

My 05 goat doesn't do it, but 2 previous F-bodies did.

it's the throw out bearing it rides very close to the preasure plate thats why when you push in the clutch it goes away. any one that has ever had an old stick car will say the same nothing to worry about

Mine too

I noticed this too, it has done it since day 1. I have over 25K and no change. I am glad to know that it is nothing to worry about.

It is the throwout bearing/slave cylinder assembly, nothing really to worry about.
