Metallic rattling on over run

HI Chris
I have the same problem and now just ignore it for the meantime. Yes it is
very loud for me too, and I often feel embaressed at driving a
"bucket'o'bolts. Mine began shortly after I had a clutch replaced, and was
accompanied by a loud sort of screeching sound whenever I used the clutch. I
ended up replacing the clutch again myself and it got rid of the screech but
not the horrible rattle. I figure it is either the pilot bearing(not replaced
with clutch) or somewhere in the gearbox. If I am on overrun and push the
clutch in the noise dissapears. Doesn't help much I'm afraid but I'll be very
interested to see if any solutions appear here as well.

Cheers
Mike

I am getting a horrid metallic rattling noise on over run. It is far worse when heading down a hill. It
stops if the car is out of gear.
It has been into North Shore Mazda for this twice and (several hundred dollars later), I have the
blimmin noise back again.

Me too. I had a gearbox rebuild a couple of years ago and it never sounded
the same again. A nasty whine on overrun in first and second. I learned to
live with it, and despite sounding like the gearbox is about to fall out, it has
stayed the same for years.

Does anyone have any ideas?
