dont think its the exhaust, but i get a rattling noise near the gearbox when taking foot of the accelerator at low speeds.

mostly at low speeds between 20 and 30 mph.

i dont get it with it out of gear.

is it serious?

clutch was replaced 15k ago. any suggestions?

have you checked the heat shield? the fact its in gear will put stress on the exhaust as the engine will move on its mounts, my heat shield just catches and its right annoying! haha

Odd on the heatsheild - go to kwik fit and have them cut it off with a torch.
