Rattel on startup,

Jonnyb1990 · Jul 19, 2014

Ok,

So its been bugging me for a while,

On start up, it sounds like the gear box is rattling, until I depress the clutch at which point it doesn't resurface until starting the truck again,

Left to its own devices it also stops rattling after a few minutes,

Me thinks that when it had an engine change a bolt or two wasn't either put back or not tightened up properly

Ideas ?

You checked all the engine and gearbox mounts? And the rubbers dunno if they could be worn?

Could be clutch fork or release bearing. If you feel any judder when you press the pedal lightly could indicate that one or the other is loose....

No wobble or sensation in clutch pedal,

Might look at the mounts next time I get access to a ramp

When I was out laning with you last week I noticed that if I was in low ratio and restarted the engine it would shake a lot more than normal on start up, but fine if in high, didn't think anything of it though seems fine now.

Mine does this too (300 Disco). Quite a loud rattly noise from the gearbox area when cold, if the clutch is down it stops. After a few minutes it stops doing it totally.

Doesn't sound great so I'd also be interested to find out what is causing it.

Could the Spigot bearing have anything to do with it? I could be talking crap

Gearbox oil levels? / condition? starting with foot on clutch stops gear spin up.

Spigot bush / bearings past experience it squealed rather than rattled.
My 110 sometimes has a bit of a rattle on tick over when started but ok when clutch depressed so reckons thrust bearing / arm spigot a bit tired

Mine is slightly noisy, I've had new spigot bush, release bearing, HD fork replaced, new clutch, slave cylinder and push rod, maybe it a land rover quirk

Heat shield ?

Some models have a heat shield on the exhaust/cat/ underbody to protect ...

also sometimes one on the manifold near the turbo ... worth a look ...
