just an inquiry, it may be my throw out bearing... or my back struts, i can not find any loose bolts or anything along the exhaust line. there is a loud rattle at roughly 1100 rpm and 2000 rpm marks and of course higher than 2k, just hard to hear it over the straight pipe aftermarket exhaust pipe. is it possible for a throw out bearing to rattle against the clutch pressure plate if it is bad causing this sound? just wondering. i know it is a bit much to ask you to help me find a sound when you can't see, but i was hoping a description would bring out someone who had this problem before.

 

This might be the time for you to get yourself a mechanic's stethescope
