c5z chatterring sound through shifter boot? 04 c5 z i have a problem dnt kno what it is when i hold the clutch down and give it gas i hear a chattering sound like a bearing would sound when its
broken or wore out and u can hear it lightly when its iddleling but more when you hold the clutch and give it gas could it be my input shaft bearing clutch feels a little sloopy at top and sometimes have a hard time goin in to 1st gear and reverse ........... the car has 40,xxx k miles and the i had the tranny checked out about 2 months ago?

Some rattling sound is normal, lack of sound deadening material in C5Zs will let you hear squeaks and rattles not normally heard in a C5. Is there a howling/squeaking noise from the tunnel area? You will also hear some rattling when you shut the car off, if you don't want to hear it, just have the clutch pushed in when shutting the car off.

i keep hearing a chattering sound thru my shifter boot when i have the car in gear and and clutch pushed all the way .... they told me at a gm dealer that its my torque tube bearing .......... but at another place said it is my throw out bearing on my clutch so i ordered a monster level 3 with the lighter fly wheel and slave cylinder ....... does it come with the throw out bearing ????? help cant stand that noise coming from the shifter boot also i maybe instaling my MGW short throw tomorro.......
I believe all new clutches come with a new throw-out bearing.
BTW, I don't know what the material your light weight flywheel is, but aluminum flywheels are usually the weak link in the drive train. You get a faster rev up, but they're notoriously weak. You can get a chromemoly lightweight flywheel that will also be strong as well as it is light. But they're pretty expensive.

Mine makes noise when I turn it off without pushing the clutch in. If it's in neutral it's spinning the driveshaft since the transmission is in the back. I'd check your torque tube bushings while replacing the clutch.
