Rattling Noise

[CMF_skonz]

Hi I posted a while ago about my 1993 micra K11 1.3 16v

When I rev the car and then stop reving it, Just before it idles i hear a little noisy like something metal shaking??

Also when I rev it for about 5-6mins the exhasut has some smoke coming out its clear but is this normal?

Heres da video link of when i move the gearstick as this what causes a rattling also.



Cheers...Scott

does the gearstick spring back into the centre easily? if not, then the rattle could be a broken return spring that's dangling n rattling against the exhaust shield, a common fault.

Kind of, how would i replace it?

cisco's article mentions bout it

removing the 2nd exhaust cat gives more access, then unbolt the exhaust shield to unvail the broke spring on the gear linkage. bend a new hook end on the spring then reconnect it before reassembly.
