So another live update: I just had someone holding the brake for me while in an incline (unfortunately the park brake adjuster was already fully in)
- Car was idling
- Gear neutral
- Rattling sounds doesn't seem to be coming from the fan hitting the shroud or the front, it's really close to the gearbox/clutch
- I did see that one of rubber engine mounts was worn (a piece of rubber was broken off, see pic)
- I also realized that the cover where I think the clutch sits is missing a few bolts (at least 3 out of 6 it looks like?)
My questions:
1. Can I safely take off the cover that has the missing bolts without splashing oil everywhere? I guess I'll find the clutch there?
2. If the rattling sound is from a loose bolt, someone said this won't make the same noise if in the oil pan due to amount of oil dampening the sounds? The rattling sounds very hollow so more likely coming from the clutch area?
3. I realized my starter was missing a bolt and replaced with one that doesn't fit, maybe this one feel through to the clutch area?
