ok look i have a ka24de and i just did a swap.. ok well i have a quite akward problem, i have a rattle sound at the back of the motor it doesnt sound like a rod i think if a rod was rattling that loud it would have shot out already.. is there a chance that i could have messed up something putting the transmission on? any input would be nice.. thanks!

Does it sound like rod knock? Does it go away when you push in the clutch?

it goes away with more throttle.. it doesnt sound like a rod knock.. bc my previous engine threw a rod.. i know the sound.. its a more rattle than a knock

Its probably just something that you overlooked and maybe didn't torque down or something like that.

If it doesnt fix it, get a sound clip up.
