Down-shifted too quick, it started a rattle.

As I was getting off of the freeway yesterday, I down shifted from
4th to 3rd at an exit ramp and turned right. Since then, I hear this
ratttling sound.

A loose bolt or something?

Dunno...

I am crossing my finger that something came loose in the clutch plate, throwout bearing area. That is easier to fix than the internal tranny.

thanks Mihn.

And congratulations on your new baby!

I'll look at it this weekend.

Maybe I will have to replace the transmission?

How much is a used tranny cost for a 1600?

Getting it rebuilt is probably a cheaper alternative and then you know exactly what you have. Mike Kerr does them. There is a local tranny shop here in Rohnert Park that has rebuilt one 4 speed and two 5 speeds for me. Finding a local shop is best. Pull the engine tranny yourself and take the tranny in for rebuilding. It will save you some cash.
