Rattling *tiak tiak tiak* sound from right side of dashboard
scoobydoo:
if vibration is from engine, chances are sound will be there regardless of gear position.
from your description, there's no sound when gearbox is disengaged (i.e. at N, P) but sound appears when gearbox is engaged (i.e. at D). vibrations may be caused by the engaged clutch when car is at "forced" stationary; notice that car moves forward when you release the brakes at idling (level ground). these vibrations might be the culprit. but why no sound at R, no clue liow.
btw, my mech advised me use N gear whenever i stop, suggesting that this may preserve the clutch and also the brakes which otherwise need to be working to keep car stationary... how true i'll probably check with TCM during my next servicing.

as i understand, frequent changing of gear from D to N during traffic light stop will lead to premature wear & tear of gearbox....it is advisable to keep at D for traffic light stop.....
gearbox more ex than brakes.....anyway to each his own....for me I always keep in D at traffic light stop....my latio coming 5yrs or 120K km.......most ex repair was change of a/c compressor...the rest are wear & tear items....

Yup, your gearbox will wear off if you keep changing from D to N. Not advisable to change to N everytime you stop at any traffic light. I would rather change my brake pad than gear box . haa

went back to TCM twice (left it there for 2 days on 2nd time) and was their engineers insulated the gaps between dashboard and side panel pieces; can see some "tape" thingy at the gaps of centre piece when look really close enough. was told sound was due to upholstery parts rubbing against each other when car "shakes". problem solved... for now.
i was like &$^#... new made in japan car also like that??? :glare:
try insulating the parts u think might be the cause
