watda Member 40 Member For: 16y 11m 27d Posted 23/10/08 11:11 PM Share Posted 23/10/08 11:11 PM Hey, When I have the car in nuetral and I blip the throttle (very lightly, maybe 5%) I can hear a rattling noise coming from what sounds to be the gearbox. The most unusual characteristic of this noise is that it's more pronounced when I have the headlights turned on!Does anybody have an idea what this unusual problem may be?Cheers!

Guest Guests Posted 24/10/08 01:37 AM Share Posted 24/10/08 01:37 AM All T56's have a rattle in neutral mate, it's just how they are unfortunately :oIf you ever upgrade the clutch & get a lightened flywheel it'll be way more pronounced as well! Nothing can be done apart from changing fluid to transmax Z or similar & even then it wont be fully gone...Headlights on could be dropping revs & makng the noise a little louder at idle Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51001-unusual-rattle-in-neutral/#findComment-754718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
