rattle sound April 19, 2012, 10:16:02 PM I have a 88 2.3 turbo. When I shift into 2nd gear and give it gas, a rattling sound comes from the right front of the car. It sounds like when the CV axles need grease on a FWD. I don't think its the turbo because the sound goes away at around 3500 rpm, and it boosts fine. What could it be? And only in second gear!!!:mad:thanks in advance :D Quote Selected

rattle sound Reply #3 – April 23, 2012, 08:45:03 AM It might be coming from the clutch, my dad said it could be the bearing. Sometimes it goes away. Then again it hasn't been driven in over a year and driven about twice a year in the years prior to that. I'm planning on changing the clutch anyways, So I'll keep you guys updated.
