Hi all Ive just purchased a manual 4200 gt its a 2003 car , its been off the road for many years I bought it as a non runner but it does now run with a fresh battery . When the car is idling there is a very pronounced rattle that goes when the clutch is depressed , under the car the noise is in the torque tube and gearbox, with a stethoscope it sounds louder in the tube but its hard to be specific. Someone has not long ago had the clutch to pieces as its clearly been out and a poor job with brackets left off and the front exhaust support is missing. any ideas? are there renewable bearings in the tube? . The gearbox mount is very soft you can lift the box up and down easilly looking on youtube this seems wrong there is a slight vibration in the car at low revs but nothing is touching . One engine mount is new. Have just ordered an oil filter and wondered if there were any special procedures to a dry sump oil change and should I also change the little filters in the oil pump housing? Sorry so many questions . Im exited to finally own one of these cars and also slightly scared for some bizzare reason .
