Clutch engagement rattle?
Just got a 951 back on the road. Drove it for the first time today.
The clutch rattles when engaging, bad! When engaged it is smooth and quiet, when the pedal is in, smooth and quiet. Only during engagement at a normal pace. Go REALLY slow and no rattle, let the clutch out quick, no rattle.
Ideas? Anyone seen this specific behavior before?

Possibly one or more of the 6 smaller springs on the disc are working loose. If that's the problem you are on borrowed time. It's the bane of OE 951 discs.

My guess it is the TO guide tube cracked or the TO is going to fail. Whatever the reason, you will be replacing the clutch. When you have the clutch off you will find why the PO sold his car so cheap. I saw you just replaced a valve.

PO obviously did not take great care of the car.
Honestly, I would almost prefer to start with a super cheap car and add the things I want and have all new parts, then pay a premium for stuff I don't want. (although a good clutch would have been nice, just an opportunity to upgrade)
