90 Dakota Trans Rattle

[luvmy02impala]

I have a 90 Dakota, when I release the clutch, there is a rattle undearth the truck, I only notice it in Neutral. I also noticed a rattle when I upshift into the next gear - almost like the truck doesn't need to be in the next gear. Kind of like when you are in second and slow down and go aroun a corner ane the rpms are too low for the gear.

Any thoughts? Could it be the throwout bearing? Clutch? Some clunking when shifting, but not to loud, somewhat low sounding. I also hear a winding when I downshift from 3rd to 2nd.

Any suggestions? Clutch has 30k on it, tryck has 74k on it.

Thanks.

Sounds like you need to check out your transmission mount...its like a motor mount but on the transmission

Thanks, I will check it out on Wednesday. I have to replace the reverse light switch anyway...

mine was doing the same thing, then the throw out bearing would stop releasing when it got hot, i am in the middle of replacing the clutch now.
