I'll have to contact my dealer and ask if this is normal. I never heard a car with that noise in 1st and 2nd gear.

I have 35k miles on my 03, still have the stock clutch. The throw out bearing does rattle every so often. I know the clutch is on its way out because it's starting to engage pretty high.
My car seems to be picky with gas. It drives well and makes better power on Shell. I've tried 76, Chevron and AMPM. Never will do AMPM again. 76 fairly good, kind of weak on Chevron.
Other than that, I don't have any complaints about the car.
+1 for me too on the bad drivers. People seem to think that EVOs were made to do 6k clutch drops. Retards.
