Hey - I've been getting a weird rattle sound on my transmission when pressing in the clutch at low speeds. When I am going up a small hill in 1st (like up my driveway) and I press the clutch in as I am slowing down - it makes this weird rattle sound. It does the same on flat ground too.

It does not do it all the time.

I thought I would wait a second between letting off the gas and pressing in the clutch to let the revs drop, but that didn't help.

The sound is embarrassing more than anything to have a nice car and hear it clank and make all of those weird sounds in the parking garage at work.

Any ideas - am I doing something wrong? Or should I take the car in under warranty?

I bought it used at 6k miles

Thanks,
