rattling clutch.

When my car is running and the clutch isn't pushed in, there is a rattling noise. When I push the clutch in, the noise goes away. I'm new here so I hope I posted this in the right section, I guess "general" would be alright for this.

I was just wondering if I should worry about this? If so, what could the problems be and how could I fix this?

Thanks,
Derek

Mine does this too. It's a bad flywheel. Just run it until you need a clutch job, or replace it and still have a new clutch put on while the gearbox is off.

Do a search for clutch rattle. There are a few recent threads covering it.
