Having this odd rattling sound when I turn on my prelude (1998,bb6) base model. Very worried it sounds like the sound is coming from driver side wheel or engine bay, hard to tell. Kind of like a rock rattling in it somewhere! The rattling sound stops when I push in the clutch.. But when I release it the sound comes back. And when I put the car in first gear, it doesn't move anywhere and just rattles loudly. Please help me I'm new to this sight but I need an idea of what it is! Is it the clutch!? Help!

 

Throw out bearing or clutch setup. Or both.

 

So would getting this kit suffice to fix it my man? Are you 100% that its the clutch??

if it rattles the goes away when you depress clutchpedal, the garunteed its a clutch issue, as in the friction surface springs have come loose, the throwout bearing is on its way out, or other issues, the only way to onow is pull the trans and have a peeks see.
