Default clatterin sound at low rpm's

this started about 1-2weeks ago. if i just get goin in 1st then go into 2nd at a low rpm, i hear a clattering/vibrating type sound from the passenger side. i think it may be my downpipes... possbibly the flywheel, but it's stock.

any other ideas?

I think that is normal. Stop driving in that low of rpm because the car is ready to stall.

I have had the same thing. It occurs when I come up to a red light out of gear and just before I come to a stop it turns green; If I put it in second and start from like 5 mph that happens until i get to about 10 mph. It doesn't happen often though, because I usually put it in first.

Rev it up a little bit and put it in first, you'll be fine.
