Default Does your Textralia clutch rattle?

My Textralia OZ-700 rattles. At idle, with my foot off the clutch, it sounds like marbles in a tin can. Sometimes its worse than other times.

I spoke to the Textralia rep about this and he's never heard of this before. He's knows that the twin disk rattles, but he's never heard of anyone ever complaining about the single disk clutch rattling.

Does yours?

I can't say i've heard that one before. I've had mine for over a year and never heard it rattle.

I use to have the OZ700 and it never rattled. My ExoSkel rattles though.

A couple of things worth mentioning.

The twins rattle up front when you have the clutch pedal depressed, because of the floater plate.

You should have no rattle up front, as you don't have a floater plate.

It could also be noise transmitted from Torque tube & Tranny as these items do make some noise. (Sounds like marbles bouncing around).

Pull the inspection plate on the bell housing and check it out. Maybe a bad throw out bearing.
