transmission noise

[glasser/09]

My transmission has a rattle in neutral,is that normal with a Ricardo trans?.

 

[SteveA]

Yes. Lots of very early posts on this back when the cars were new.

 

[glasser/09]

Should / does it need repair?

No, it's normal with the clutch out. Quieter with the clutch in. It is even mentioned in the owner's manual.

In two years, two people commented on my car's transmission rattle. My response? "Obviously, you have never heard a racing transaxle."

It's called "neutral gear rollover". Completely normal. Nothing compared to neutral and low rpms in a Carrrera GT. You'd think something was really busted back there in the transaxle.

Not normal! Tell your wife you need another GT so you can compare!

I like the way you think Roketman!!

Although different than the neutral gear rollover, these cars have a fair amount of rattle in the clutch when disengaged because of the multi-plates. My '08 GT500, which also has a multi-plate clutch, sounds like a dry clutch Ducati.

Rattle snake sound also in lower RPMs inside cabin

Beats glass clutch of 90s Lambos

Noticed this noise the other day for the first time, It was a bit concerning so i'm glad to see its normal.

One other thing though, I am now getting comfortable with the car to the point where 725bhp feels normal, when I drove my 430bhp TVR the other day I thought it had a misfire and was running badly, no its just very slow, it boggles the mind that the GT can do what it does, with such ease.
