clutch is gone or something is wrong in there
i wouldnt say clutch, i get this in 1st and 2nd sometimes if it doesnt go in properly. the car just shakes as if its about to stall yeh? Myn does it rarelyyyy like if its really really cold maybe.. then.
Get your uh.. i think it was called Selectors? or something like that, its inside the gearbox im not that familiar with mechanics im just tellin ya from experience.
Thats what myn turned out to be. But myn doesnt do it much at all.. so i didnt bother fixing it. but they told me its my Selectors or synchro? (some word like that) in the gearbox.
Can you please clarify what you mean by it doesnt store rev it up n it starts to rattle? Does the car not move in gear? Does something rattle in gear? Something rattle out of gear?Quote:

Have the car on, and see if the noise goes away when you disengage the clutch in neutral and in gear. Might help diagnose where its coming from. Hope this helps.
Sounds like you had the same problem I had.
Just to confirm: Everything is fine while you have the clutch pedal pressed in, but as soon as you start to release your foot off the pedal everything shakes? How violent is the shaking?
Are you also having problems selecting gears?
Can you drive the car?
How many k's?
Do you ride the clutch a fair bit?
Is the clutch stock?
Does the clutch slip/free rev through the rev range?
Like others have said, might “just” be the clutch or it could be something internal.
If its something serious (aka gearbox) dont drive it ffs. Youll end up doing more damage which will cost you more in the long run. If somethings sheared/snapped/broken you could send metal particles throughout the whole box destroying bearings and other costly components.
