Wierd noise

Post by 04chargedvibe »

I've searched on the site for this and I haven't come up with an answer. This only happens when my engine is cold. When I start it up then put it in drive I hear a noise that sounds like a rock hitting a tin can. I've never heard it before and I'm not really sure where its coming from. Any ideas?

most likely it's a heat shield rattling, very common

on my 03 AWD, it was a heat shield over the transmission that was the culprit, surely you have one of those. (yes, i called you shirly)
