Depending on how often you do it and what you want to spend to keep car looking new I would do the following

A) If car is dusty \ lightly dirty do it at home using the following

Start with m
Finish with m

FYI Youll need a ton of microfiber cloths (approx 10, 8 for step one and 2 for step 2)

Well got car back, no change, looks like only option now is to sound dampen or go back to stock clutch.

I just had a look at the spec sheets too. Might not be as bad as I thought but I still wouldn't do it myself. Is the rattle just a sound or a vibration being transmitted to the chassis producing sound in the car?
I've put in urethane engine mount inserts into the MR2 and get more engine vibration ...

Not too sure how hot a transmission gets but if people run oil coolers on them then they have the potential to get up there in temperature. Enough to disturb the Dynamat adhesive.
Is Dynamat a black bituminous product with silver foil on it? I can't remember exactly what its made from. If it is I ...

LOL true that , how hot would the transmission case get ??

Been chasing the cause of gear rattle on my Mitsi Colt, and failing a fix (car being put back together as I type), I was wondering what people think about Dynamatting the countershaft portion of the transmission case (and perhaps the firewall near it ?)....this is wear the gear rattle \ lash noise ...

Update, got clutch back from balancers today and they drilled out about 5 grams from flywheel, and also a few spots on the pressure plate.

They also noted the spline/hub on the disc had both axial and radial play... Not sure if this is normal but being Sachs brand I wouldnt run it past the germans ...

Damper springs are stock, autoclutch only did the facings on the disc.

The rattle is coming from countershaft gears, happens mainly on idle, all low gears on anything but constant throttle, and decel in all gears at all speeds.

Really bugging me as the whole ordeal so far has costed nearly 1000 ...

Yep I understand about engine torque pulses and gear lash \ clatter.

What I dont understand though is the issue barely existed prior to changing the clutch slight rattle in neutral, now its 4 times louder, in all gears, and especially bad when deceling \ coasting.
ie I went from a 2/10 to an 8/10 ...

Due to a slipping clutch, I had my stock clutch on the Mitsubishi Colt upgraded at Autoclutch (Refaced with Kevlar\Carbon), Flywheel resurfaced, Uprated pressure plate fingers).

Prior to upgrade there was only slight rollover \ gear rattle in neutral, after upgrade when running it has massive gear ...

Ok so i added the uuc redline cocktail, no difference . Im just gonna drive it and look at going back to oem clutch and new gearbox for good measure.

Got me stumped how a pressure plate uprate and different facing material could cause gear rattle to that extent.

I'm hoping you guys can help clear this up for me, I've been told the clutches in the gen 4 3sgte are different to the gen 2 and 3, is this true or will one clutch kit fit across the board?
I've spent the last 2 hrs trying to find an answer in the interballs (MCM ref ) and am still no closer to ...

Send your clutch, plate and flywheel to Autoclutch in Auckland $500ish to get the whole lot rebuilt and upgraded, much cheaper then a new OEM or buying an Exedy HD.

Dont forget a new release bearing as well. Autoclutch should be able to supply for $60-80

Its a sprung center, oem, just new facings. The clutch system is also self adjusting hydraulic so there has to be preload.

There is no adjustable preload on the the hydraulic clutch. All preload is provided by the small spring in the slave cylinder. If your slave cylinder is rusty inside it might ...

Clutch bled, feels great, good engagment. Prior to install didnt have any issue gearbox side other than light rollover and shaft seal leak. Only has 90,000 kms on the clock.

Actually a non Toyota question but good technical discussion question. Looking forward to advice.

I recently did an Autoclutch upgrade on a Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart Ver R (pressure plate, kevlar disc, flywheel grind) plus obtained a new release bearing (Sachs, comes mounted to fork).

Issue ...

Have imported 3 x 2005 models for family.
Suit a short person really well as the bucket seats are comfy and have a pump in the squab.
If you are tall you probably want something else.
When buying parts you have to be careful as JDM and Aussie Ralliarts are different spec and NZ parts stores stock ...
