Strange rattling when low down in gears

Featured Replies

Hi everyone, wondered if I could have some help....

I've recently noticed a rattling, as I pull off, change into another gear there's a rattling, very hard to explain but I noticed it about a week and a half ago and seems to ever so slightly be getting worse. It's a 'tappy' sort of noise. (I'm fairly paranoid of new noises that pop up with my car)

Anyone else heard or have something similar?

Thanks in advance.

After a cam belt change at a Skoda dealers, I experienced a harsh grating noise which appeared to come from lower down the bulkhead, after searching high and low, I finally found the culprit, the two gear change cables had been yanked out of their clips at the bottom of the bulkhead where it slopes down to the floorpan, I eventually nylon tied them together to stop them vibrating on the bulkhead.
