Is this the TCT?
If yes, what are my options?
Edit:
Did the same thing like in this video and it worked

Hey folks!
Got a creaking sound coming from near dead center in the car when I'm slowing down, taking off from a light, or otherwise at slow speeds around some corners. At speed, the creak is non-existent. I've had the suspension checked, and all 4 upper control arms replaced. Any ideas?

Just recently got my soft top replaced about a month ago. Since then I've started getting a rattle/clunking on the passenger side when going over bumps that's getting progressively worse.
Doesn't sound like it's in the door seems a little further back. I've tried to inspect all the hinges/soft top hardware to no avail so far...
Thanks in advance!

I have a new one -
At idle there is a very faint rattle that sounds exactly like a tiny pebble inside a coffee can. Like a high pitched tiny bell. It's not a consistent rhythm.

I'm getting a rattle from the front left of the car. Sounds like a high speed tapping coming from the left side of the engine compartment. Only happens on high RPM decels.
I popped the hood and banged and shook everything up top and couldn't see anything that would be causing it.
Plan on getting under the car this Thursday to check everything out but if anyone has a had something similar please let me know.

Just realized yesterday that when I slightly press the clutch pedal in when the rattle is happening, it stops.
Going to check the clutch master bolts/adjustment and see if that fixes the issue!
Is this a bad clutch master? Looks like it might be leaking.
UPDATE 7/6:
Replaced the Clutch Master and the rattle is gone. To my surprise, my previous "clutch buzz" is also gone.
Clutch feels nice and tight and the car is quieter.

I recently resolved an annoying noise I figured I'd mention in order to help someone else out.
You would not believe how much one simple buzz noise feels like it impacts the drivability of the whole car.
For a little while, I've been hearing an odd metallic noise that seemed to happen when I shifted during normal driving.
As I'd had recent clutch and transmission work, this was worrisome.
Eventually I noticed that it became more of a buzz and didn't actually have to do with shifting, but the RPM I was at when I shifted.
I could produce the buzz at higher RPMs and make it come and go with the throttle by going above or below the vibration' sweet spot.
Lots of listening narrowed it down to the rear right of the car.
Banging on everything in that area revealed that the right rear muffler tip was slightly loose.
Removing and reinstalling the exhaust tip after straightening the mounting bracket a bit completely eliminated the noise and made the entire car sound more solid and feel smoother.

I had a rattle coming from what seemed to be in front of the passenger dash area. Turns out it was a lost oil cap. Bought the car a couple of months ago, so maybe the previous owner lost a cap. The rattle was driving me nuts. Found the cap struck somewhere in the trans housing. I was surprised it got so far.

This rattle is new and driving me nuts. Sounds like it's coming from inside the passenger door but I didn't find anything loose in there yesterday. Any ideas?

I had many rattle due to aftermarket top/poor installer, most severe coming from the tray and the fact that the glass was actually resting on the roll hoops when the top was up
