awful lot of rattling when i shut the motor off. it's a manual, so i'm thinkin it is in the tranny, does this seem normal? it is only while it is shutting off, kind of at the end of the cycle. hard to describe, but it is definately a "heavy" sound.

 

if this is your first Diesel that is PERFECTLY normal

 

what you driving???year??
my 06 with a G-unit shuts down hard but that's just normal Cummins shake IMHO

some say depressing the clutch pedal helps but it does not really make a difffrence on my truck....

 

push D clutch in when you shut er down boss.

 

I push my clutch in, it's still noisy though.

G-g-g-g uuuuuuunit!

 

Push clutch in and shift into first, makes a difference in the rattle.

 

whoops, i'll update my sig. i'll try pushing in the clutch first... and no this is not my first diesel, it's my fifth, just the first one with a manual.

 

Mine with a manual sounds the same way I never tried the whole put it in 1st and push in the clutch thing cause this was always normal to me even with my auto.

 

in the manual for my '07 "you may experience a rattle at shut down and to try putting the clutch in when shutting down on the manual transmissions"

My '92 did the same but never saw a manufacturers hint that it was normal.

 

pushing in the clutch did the trick, thanks everyone.
