So, the truck is relatively new to me, the newest truck i've ever owned. It only has 70 000km on it... so about 40 000 miles.
I changed the tranny fluid when i bought it (this summer), and all the other fluid looks fine.
Either way, whether i am at idle or driving, i hear a very faint rattle, i actually thought it was probably just a little valve noise, until i realised it goes away when i push the clutch in. This is when i am in neutral at idle, or shifting from any gear while driving. I should emphasise that it is very faint. Most people wouldn't hear it, but i'm a little anal about these things - like compared to what i've seen in youtube videos which sound like marbles in can, this is not that.
I've done a bit of research, and found a couple different answers.
Any opinions? I figure i am in for a clutch job down the road, but curious how long i got and why? Could it be fluid related? The dealer sold me MERC V and that's what I used, seemed to take slightly less than I expected, but less than a liter's difference (it still drips out slightly when i take out the fill plug)
