Default TCT going out?

i would occasionally hear a small rattle sound coming from engine bay, i usually hear it at slow parking lot rolling speed or idle after say 20 minutes of driving.

it doesnt sound as bad as some of the youtube video where it sounds like a deck of cards , but it does have a small rattling noise almost like buzzing. i think it goes away when i clutch in or gas it. (pretty sure its not my clutch since it was recently replaced).

anywayys, just want to check in to see if it sounds like it's the TCT or im just paranoid.


here's more information:
i only drive my car once or twice a week , so i keep my batteries unplugged most of the time, i dont know if it plays a role in having that noise due to ECU being relearned. my car is about 128k miles, not sure if TCT has ever been replaced.

im only unplugging my battery so it doesnt drain it and eventually kill the battery. sometmies i would go to 2 weeks without driving it that's why.

if your drives are long then i wouldnt worry about it since your battery probably got recharged

I replaced the TCT once with OEM and once it started failing again I replaced witih one of Billman's modified ones and haven't had an issue since.
