I have heard of thers with this issue I wonder if it is all 6 spds and is normal? I only run 93 octane. It dosen't sound good. Thanks.
I also have a 6spd. I have always started and stopped the engine in gear with the clutch pedal down. It stops the engine from rattling after shut down. Just my experience.
