ive done 430miles in my mini since saturday afternoon, im trying to get it run in this week. and my head and ears are still ringing from the noise of me straight cut gears and drops, ive got a rattle type noise on idle, which goes when clutch pressed drop clatter is this normal and my gears are very loud, suppose its louder cos me cars stripped out. but are they supposed to be very loud?*laughing*

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

I think the clatter/chatter is normal.

My car certainly does it - i thought it was the release bearing - changed it no difference. Then i found out other cars with sc drops did it!

The clattering noise is normal, yes.

Although it is a bit disconcerting when you first hear it, when I first started my newly built god-knows-how-many-£££ engine up, I was shit scared as I thought there was something wrong with it due to the noise it was making! Then I dipped the clutch and it sounded nice!

It is nothing actually rattling, it is more the gears chattering against each other as they spin over. Once under load you lose the chattering and instead get the whine we all know and love.

an old mini tuner that lives on the Isle of Man told me block to box gasket thickness can make the difference here.
