Not sure if it's "normal" noise, or if there's something up with it. I've actually been thinking that it may have a broken spring, or just something loose and rattly. It's not "terrible", but it makes more noise than I think it should. And I can get it to make a hideous noise if I get too aggressive in reverse, like when I back into my driveway.
My clutch has been noisy as hell since I bought it brand new. They said the "jangly" sound was nothing, and couldn't get it to replicate the "gut shot Wookie" sound it makes under high load/strain/rpm takeoffs. 116k miles later and I'm still waiting on it to give out and/or start slipping or something worse...
