Hi (1st post!!) ...lurker for a few weeks...
My '72 1600 has a horrible rattle that is present in all geasr and neutral.. the clutch works fine, however the rattle settles immediately with the slightest pressure on the clutch (nowhere near approaching the bite point!)
I did wonder about the clutch release bearing initially, however this amount of pressure - literally just tickling it, makes we wonder if it's something far simpler..Not as noticeable at higher revs either, but still present.
Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for troubleshooting before I begin stripping the transmission down
Thanks in advance!
