Help !! My SST Rattle or shock..

Postby jason8939 » Wed Sep 16, 2015 9:52 pm

Hi guys ,


I dont know how to describe this problem rattle ? shock ? it feels like something hit the underbody .

the sst often rattles , shock especially at low speed. i thought its normal for twin clutch.

but sometimes it rattles ? shock when the car is stopping as well.

do i need to change sst oil ? my car is currently at 33,000km

i decide to take it to the dealership but i worry about the problem not happening in front of the dealer so can not prove the problem.

I want to get some information before i take it to the dealership.

also do i need to pay for the rent car ? even my car is under warranty

they said it took more than 4-5 hours so i think i need to hire the car.

please give me an advice !

Would need a better description of the issue but it could just be the clutch packs getting unloaded that are causing the noise. With SST knock/rattle noise is quite normal on idle.

Otherwise it could be the engine flywheel hub and input shaft splines have too big of a gap causing issues.

is that in 6th gear or all the gears? "normal" or "sport"mode?

Take a video/record the sound so we can hear what you're experiencing.

I'd be taking it to a dealer straight away, especially if you're under warranty.

Often the SST will clunk into first gear slowing down to a stop sign or traffic lights.. it may also do this going from first gear to reverse gear... does make you look like your a bad driver or you have stalled.. which i find annoying - and mine has only done 5,400KM

I think its just clutches/tcu expecting you to change up a gear and you catch it off guard = clunks.

Take it to the dealer and explain them the situation, try to drive the car in sport/manual mode and see if there is any improvement. Normal mode is just not good for our cars.
