1953 ford f250. Excessive rattling noise which stops immediately when clutch depressed. What should I start with?

Check your transmission fluid level. When the clutch pedal is not depressed, the gears in the transmission turn with no load on them. If the amount of fluid in the transmission is low or missing, the gears are free to rattle. Parts in the transmission, gears or bearings, may be worn out and in need of replacement. The clutch pressure plate may be worn out with loose or broken springs or loose release arms.

That’s an easy question. A good start would be to stock up on hand cleaner and Modelo. Alan

Simple thing to check: Do you have some free-play in the clutch pedal? If not, could be a very slight engagement of the throw-out bearing (and a rattling noise) when clutch is supposed to be totally released.

I think I’ll just stick with the Modelo while I stand there looking at it and saying someday I’ll fix that
