Last night while driving home I was doing about 60mph when I let of the gas a bit to slow down and a muffled rattling/thumping noise started from what I believe to be the clutch/transmission area. It stops after a few seconds but I can feel the thumping better then I can hear it. I tried letting off the gas with the clutch in and I didn't get the noise. Also, I think I have hear the same noise just driving around town but it may just be my paranoia picking up on any noise I hear. Anyone have a similar problem with their clutch?

The car has 14,500 miles on it and due for the 15k service soon.

 

My car was making sound sort of like this, and it ended up being the CV joint on the passenger side. Your car is pretty new though, so I do not know. I would take it to the dealer and have them check it out under warranty.

I'm definitely taking it to the dealership but I'm debating if I should take it in right away or when 15k comes up. I'm going to have 2 autoX events between now and 15k so I don't know if I should check it out now or wait.

 

My car shakes at low RPMs with the AC on '2' or above. Not consistantly though.

 

This problem happens w/o the AC on. I wonder if it could be due to the alignment of my car? After 13 autoX events my car seems to lean to the left, but as I mentioned it really feels like it's coming from the clutch/transmission area.
