    Transmission Clutch noise

    Can you all take a look at this quick video I made and let me know what you think might be going on? It's under warranty but before I take it in again, I'd like to get some opinions. You can hear a vibration in the video when in neutral and the clutch let out. Press the clutch in and it goes away. Let it back out and the noise/vibration comes right back. It seems like something is not fully disengaging. No issues so far going into gear or changing to any gear at speed. Let me know your thoughts and thanks as always for the help. About 7800 miles, and not really driven that hard at all. A few track days, but no drag racing or abuse really to speak of.

    Can't really hear much.... does it do it when driving? Or just sitting at idle?

    sounds like it could be a throwout bearing. Generally wont hurt anything, just sounds like a can of marbles is rattling around in the tranny.

    Another vote for a throw out bearing.

    Is it louder after driving and warming up the car ?
    If so, neutral gear rattle from the description. Have you changed fluid in the trans ?
    The release bearing in a Viper is constant run and always in contact with the clutch cover and spinning.

    Agree with John as the description sounds like neutral gear rattle. Could not hear it in the video. Have you listened to any other Gen V for comparison?

    Thanks for the help everyone. I have not changed the fluid yet, I am heading to a track day this weekend and a friend with his 2016 is supposed to be there, so I'll get him to listen and then listen to his. It doesn't do it all the time, but the video above was immediately after cranking and backing out of garage, so it doesn't need to be warm to do it. If you turn up the video loud you can hear the grinding noise and then hear it stop when I push the clutch in and then start again when I let it out. I'll get all of the fluids changed after this weekend and see if that helps.

    What fluid are you putting in the trans ?
    The factory fill ATF is more prone to gear rattle and does not have high shear strength to protect the gears under prolonged hard accel's. I supply a different fluid on all the 6060 rebuilds with excellent results.
    PM me for more info.
