Hi.
Today I replaced stock DMF setup with used SMF G60 flywheel and New VR6 Luk clutch kit. The clutch engages smoothly, doesn't slip, in general I really like its behavior. However, one thing really disappoints me - the transmission now rattles at idle sometimes. Sounds like a spinning wheel-bearing that has big play in it. When I disengage the clutch the noise disappears. At the beginning I thought that this is regular SMF chatter that people get when they replace DMF with SMF kits, but in my case the rattle is not constant. Most of the time the clutch doesn't make noise at idle at all in either engages or disengaged state, but occasionally in neutral it starts rattling. It rattles a lot when I just crawl in the first or second gear at idle. It may rattle for several seconds when I turn on AC or when I press clutch pedal several times. What could be?
Here's the video.
The temporal character of the rattle is the best heard at 25sec. and further.
