i have a 99 carrera...62k 6spd...when at idle without the clutch in it rattles, it sounds almost like a flywheel chatter....when you put the clutch in it goes away. anyone have this problem know or what it is?

 

sound like you have a lightened flywheel otherwise maybe the Presure plate is dying

 

Maybe it's your Throw out bearing.
How bad is it?
Mine does that too. I'm not worried about it.

 

Sounds like a clutch job to me.....

nah the clutch catches fine...sounds like either the flywheel or a throw out bearing

 

Throwout bearing will only make noise while the pedal is beng pressed or is pressed down. When the pedal is out, it is non functional. I you have the stock dual mass flywheel, you may have a broken spring causing it to rattle.
