lugging-down "rattling" noise w/standard tranny
I have a question for you more auto-mechanic inclined than me (which
is probably most everyone who posts here often).
You know that noise the engine makes when it lugs down? Kind of a
clicking/rattling noise, especially prevalent when you shift into the
next gear too early, right when you release the clutch and put
pressure on the gas again? What specific part is making this noise.
Does anyone know? I have been hearing it more lately, when I'm just
driving normally, and there is no reason for the engine to be lugging
down (I'm not shifting too early, etc.), and I'm wondering if
something in my tranny or clutch is about to go bad that would cause
this noise to occur more often. I still only hear it pretty close to
when I first get back on the gas after changing gears. I'd like to
catch any potential problem before it strands me.
Thanks

Re: lugging-down "rattling" noise w/standard tranny
That can be carbon building up causing the gas to ignite too soon. The
noise is pistons getting slapped around.
A good run on the highway in a lower than normal gear is one way to
clean it out.
A pint of ATF or some use a pint of water and slowly trickle it down the
air intake while running will clean it out. ATF makes a large cloud of
smoke but work really well.
