Piotr Ponikovski, expert, owner of SET SERWIS checkpoint:

– A metallic noise that stops when the clutch is depressed may come from the gearbox. It should be remembered that depressing the clutch pedal cancels the backlash, which is certainly the source of the loud operation of the gearbox. An accurate check of this type of fault can be carried out in a car workshop.
