Hello to you all, I get a rattle from what sounds like the clutch or gear box when I flick the throttle in neutral. When I pull the clutch in it doesn't happen and also when it has warmed up it isn't as bad. Is this normal or do I have a problem.?

I agree, and i would check any other bolts in that region. could also be a sign that the gearbox oil is low. Also do not rule out timing chain issues. good luck |

Hello mate, I have a 1997 model as well and can't say i have the problem, which isn't a help i know, but if it was me i'd just get it into your local dealer, especially as its a new one!
