I have a strange noise, like a rattling/stomping sound at idle, when pressing the clutch pedal. The clutch and the flywheel (DMF), were both changed with new parts.

Except for that sound, the car handles perfectly.

Has anyone came across something like this?

Thanks!

According to the OP's last comment, the rattle was due to a broken crankshaft.

I will add one thing though. When I was a kid, my father had a '91 Mitsubishi Pajero that suddenly had its crankshaft snap in two. He was able to drive it to the dealership with a rattling noise that was present regardless of clutch position or RPM.

With regards to the OP's case, I am quite frankly surprised that the rattling noise was present only with the clutch pressed in. Not saying that it isn't possible, just unusual that the OP was able to drive "normally" otherwise.

They could have left a loose bolt on the preasure plate for the clutch and when you disengage the clutch, the bolt might hit the shell of the trany.
