5SPD rattle faddle

I took my 5spd in with 4k miles for them to fix a rattle when the 5spd is in N. They told me all 5spds rattle like that and nothing was wrong. The noise goes away with the clutch pressed in . the rattle is louder when the a/c is on.

Does everybodys do this? Or was the dealer tech lazy that day.

 

My 06 5 speed with almost 18K miles has been completely rattle free... I do get a clunk from the back of the cab on the passenger side while going over bumps but that's a different issue.

 

Absolutely no rattle on my 08 5sp Access Cab 4cyl truck in N. Tell them to fracking fix it!

 

Hummm, some time has lapsed since the last post, Synapse, however I have a 5 speed and a regular cab such as yours. No, I don't have a rattle in N, However, like Roland, I have a rattle under the cab when I ride over bumps. Doesn't happen on every bump...it has to be a "special bump." (Explain that to the dealer). Anyway, today I went under the beast, and checked the exhaust shield and tightened the bolts on the engine shield. We'll see what happens.
A friend with a GMC said: "Yeah, Toyota's are known for their rattles!" Dick!
When my truck goes in for it's 5,0000 I hope I have something in the bed to say: "Dudes! This fell off!"
Good luck!

 

Mine has a rattle but it's just the seatbolt lug on the bottom! So not really a rattle : )

 

My vote: Lazy tech. My 5-speed is rattle-free.

 

Mine has the same rattle. It sounds like a diesel engine when idling. I am suppose to meet with the Toyota Rep the next time he is at the dealers.

 

Hey Sixgunner, keep me updated on what you find out.

 

Well its been getting louder over the past month. Im thinking of putting a old benz 300diesel badge on the side of my truck.

I took it to another dealer and they told me the same thing, they couldnt fix it. But they think its coming from the trans.

I got mad and called toyota and a area rep (or something like that) is going to call me today to correct the problem.

 

I am still waiting on the rep to be in the area.

 

Man I hope I dont have to wait that long! I will post for you soon as i find out what they are going to do.
