Anyways he said that the rattling that I had heard(sounds like a loose heat shield or exhaust rattle), was coming from the lower motor or the tranny. He thought maybe a loose oil baffle from the oil pan hitting the crank. Anyone else had any issues like this? Anything specific I should look for? 96 Contour GL Zetec 134k

I have a rattle from time to time (mostly after the car is warmed up) when I push my clutch in. My symptoms sound very familiar to the results you'll find in above search. On another note, I noticed you're from St. Albans, I live in Monkton...we should meet up sometime. 1999 Contour SVT #1966/2760, Silver Frost/Midnight Blue Koni Kit, Mille Miglia MM-S rims, B&M shifter, Stazi mesh, SFCs, optimized Y-pipe & TB, SS break lines, K&N drop-in, Infinity Kappa speakers, MTX amp/sub
