When i take off in my 90 240sx se i hear a loud rattle and it kinda sounds like my transmission it might just be a piece of of the car like a panel or somthing but i am just checking to see if it is a common problem. If you have heard this or know a fix please reply. Thanks

is it a tinny kind of rattle that is primarily at a certain rpm range? if so it may be exhaust. you can try whacking different parts of the exhaust with a rubber mallet untill you find it.

No, it happens just when i start off sometimes it donst do it if i start out slow. But when it does i can fell the pedal and the steering wheel shake alot and then its gone. it happens 95 percent of the times when i take off

try checking for loose bolts. also, jack her up and shake each wheel top to bottom and side to side. another thing to check are your tension rods.
