2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Tonga Green

Transmission clatter

When driving off-road in 2nd low, downhill, low idle with engine braking, there is a very loud clattering from the transmission. Anyone got any ideas what's wrong.
Thanks.

Clutch I expect. When you turn the engine off can you hear a couple of metallic "clunks" from the underside of the car just as the engine stops rotating. 130's have feeling's as well you know

Is this noise the clutch? Mine has started doing this recently. I've also noticed a similar noise at idle!

Yep its the little coil springs in the pressure plate. They slacken off and rattle. Warranty fix

Thanks all. Not very encouraging though, I'm on my second clutch plate at only 20,000 miles.
