The main torsional vibration source of the driveline is the fluctuation of the engine torque. The gear rattle is impacts generating in the backlash of the free gear due to this torsional vibration. Optimization of the clutch torsional characteristic is one of the effective methods to reduce the idle gear rattle. Many researches have been reported on this problem but only few of them give sufficient consideration to the clutch design parameters and drag torque.<br/>
This paper pays attention to the clutch design parameter, drag torque, gear backlash and fluctuation of engine torque to reduce the idle gear rattle with, computer simulation.<br/>
