Neutral Clatter............

[Don Hiltz]

I know I must have read hundreds of posts about this ubiquitous problem, but I'd never noticed it on my own Viper. Last night, while at idle, I engaged the transmission (in neutral of course) and heard the "noise".

I think I've read that it's an innocuous sound typical of the T56 transmission.

Is that correct?

Thanks........

Don

Commonly refered to as NGR - Neutral Gear Rattle, yes it's inherant to Vipers. Also Z-06 Corvettes. A change in tranny gear grease can help some, but most have subscribed to "nature of the beast"

I believe there is a TSB out on this. If you change the tranny fluid to a synthetic one it should help. Haven't tried it yet on mine but that's what I heard.

change your fluid out to the new dodge fluid that ends with the numbers 459...it quiets it down considerably..try that fix first...you'll notice it shifts easier too....Len

It could be the throw out bearing, if it just all of a sudden started to make noise, would suspect this may be the culprit.
