Porsche Crest

Paul,

If the rattling is ocurring at low rpm ... say 1000 - 2000 rpm, then it isn't anything to worry about! Just such noise has been the reason for much R&D at Porsche in the past 25 years ... and some ideas that perhaps shouldn't have been incorporated into production models, such as the infamous SC 'exploding' rubber-centered clutch disk, have resulted from that R&D!

Some noise is perfectly normal from a transaxle, and only when Porsche started catering to the luxury, upscale lawyer/doctor clientele ... did NVH concerns start to impact and override performance goals in the '70's and '80's.
