This is because we have 6 gears and at around 45mph (Typical city speed limit) the vechile sits between 1-2k and is not higher than 2000. This range, to me, is "Light load" or "cruising" range.
I get these are entry level sports cars which have perks and quarks but assuming somone else is completely ignorant isn't effective at all. This is especially true since his 2nd paragraph starts with him announcing he's done research.
Now, like another user said, I have 17,8-- on my vehicle. No rattle, thank god. I've had other weird issue occur such as a radiator exploding which resulted in the dealership claiming to pull driving habits from ECU. Weather or not they actually can, I don't care. I knew I was not pushing the car and the vehicle was still just a babe so I wasn't even spirited with her yet.
Also, as was stated, the clutch housing is bolted to the flywheel, which sits on the back end of the motor. The clutch disk rides on a splined stub shaft that sticks out from the transmission, this stub shaft is inserted into the clutch assembly, specifically into the disk, and is (when properly installed) done most commonly using a special tool that simulates this shaft to ensure proper fitment and alignment, and in no way should the clutch disk ever be able to "rattle" on the input shaft. If the disk itself is rattling, it was poorly installed in the first place.

Not only did he research he actually TOOK IT TO THE DEALER!
How many posts are there on this forum where somebody says "I have a noise, what is wrong?" instead of taking it someplace where they, (A) can actually hear it and (B) do something about it! Granted there are some common problems where if the poster actually gives enough info somebody here might guess right but I bet a whole lot more miss info goes out then any thing with true value.
On the other hand there are some truly ignorant posters that only want to reinforce what they already believe and won't listen to anybody else or are just looking to blame somebody else for something they screwed up themselves!
