Default A problem with my Stang

I have a 99 straight drive Mustang GT

I have another problem that has come up, but I can't quite figure out what it is. First off, there seems to be a rattle coming from the tranny area when I start off or reverse. This started a few weeks ago, and I was going to keep listening to see if it got any worse. Well the past week, I sometimes get a small, rapid rattle/vibration when I am letting out the clutch, and once there was a vibration coming from under the car. Also, there will be a point when the car fills like it is about to stall for a second when I'm going at a constant speed, just a quick sputter type thing, but like its about to stall. I'm hoping this won't require a new tranny. Any ideas on what it could be?

Any other noises? Hom many miles on the car and clutch? The 3650 is famous for throw out bearings going out.

Dude, I love the sig! That is freakin' awesome with the embedded video!

The car has about 96,000 miles on it, and the clutch was just replaced about a month ago. I already had the throw-out bearing problem [:@] Thats why I had the whole clutch replaced.

And thanks about the sig My brother has been messing with photoshop for a while now, he made that one. And believe it or not, that is not near one of his best.

I'd take it back to the shop that did the clutch job. Something isn't right. Do it fast before the tranny is damaged. Not saying that will happen for sure, but why tempt fate?

Your brother is talented.

Ok, I'm going to try to see if he will look at it soon.

It also started rattling at the tranny area just sitting there this morning []

I hope it is nothing major

I can post a few more sigs he has done if you want

Could it be that the rattle that your hearing by your trans could be a loose heat shield on one of your cats? They do come loose sometimes and rattle.

I have an update

I havnt taken the car to the guy who put the clutch in yet, but I let my dad and brother listen to it and my dad said it doesn't sound like anything major.

I realized I needed to mention to you guys that it wasn't a loud rattle, just an annoying rattle, and it doesn't do it all the time, and usually only when I'm moving like starting off from a stop or going in reverse. So my dad was guessing it was just something a little loose.
