Letting out the clutch rattle?

I did a search and can't quite find if this has been covered. OK, here is my best description (just lick taking the car to a mechanic after it stops making the noise). When letting out the clutch real easy or slow like when trying to creep forward at a light, something in the undercarriage (transmission, exhaust, ???) rattles. It only does this when going very slow, only in first, and is really bad when trying to pull into my garage. We live on the side of a hill, so our driveway has a slight slope to it, after a drive (the car would be nice and warm), when I pull into the garage, the car makes the most horrible world coming to and end rattle, and even shakes the car a little. Anyone have a clue what this is? It's annoying at the house, but embarrasing in town! By the way, this is a 07 Boster base with the 6 speed transmission.

It sounds like the engine might be lugging a bit due to too low if RPMs. Do you happen to know what your RPMs are when this occurs? I bet if you gave it a little more gas you might find that the rattle/vibration might subside.

certainly it goes away with RPM, but what is actually rattleing? I have never owned a stick that does something like this. Normally you are at a light, people are looking and listening, then it happens. Makes the car sound like it's falling apart. There has to be something that is loose, or moving around enough to hit something else isn't it? Or is this something internal in the motor, and i just need to rev the $hit out of it an burn the clutch?

I've had my Cayman for 4 weeks and it's been at the dealer for service 4 times and 7 days. I had a noise -- not a rattle -- letting the clutch out in 1st gear, in reverse and on any tight turns. Sounded more like a clunk (and no it wasn't trunk clunk-- had that too but it was repaired). The tech DID hear it but can't find it or fix it. He was on the phone with Porsche today when I called to check on the car.

That sucks. No clunk here, it's a lot of rattleing.
