Yeah the trans uses a pretty low vis oil. I think that is by design, I wouldn't put a high vis oil in it from what I have heard, but agree if the noise is within the trans it might help putting something thicker in.
I understand both sides of this as I too get weird around dealers, but know some things I cannot do myself. I have been to many incompetent dealers, one case where a small rattle turned into the dealer having to replace a water pump because they broke it "diagnosing" the rattle. Like how does...
For the hell of it, I ordered an MGW shifter and it is set to be delivered today. Between ordering/deliver it was ~5 days. Really impressed by that since I heard it is usually 4-5 weeks. I am off next week and plan to install. I am not sure if it will make a difference in the issue, but I had...
I replaced my vac/oil pressure gauge with the GT350 one that shows oil preesure/oil temp. It is totally plug and play and looks stock obviously. The car should've come with this gauge pack imo.
Just phoned the dealer, no TSB's or anything related to the issue. I don't want to take it in necessarily because I have chased weird issues like this in the past where more ended up getting broken in the process (not at this dealer, but just others working on my cars in the past). I definitely...
Makes me wonder if something in the linkage between the gear shift and the trans is too tight or something. I know these aren't directly mounted to the trans and there is some linkage (although not much).
So I finally got around to doing some testing to see if moving the stick one way or the other changes the sound. Like many others, applying a small amount of pressure towards the passenger side of the car makes the sound disappear, but the same amount of pressure towards the driver side makes it...
I am located in the US and have posted about this with my Tremec as well. It only does it in 2nd gear and only when on throttle. I have ~3k miles on mine now and it hasn't gotten any worse, but I also am not sure what it is. Thought about changing the fluid but still haven't yet wondering if...
These clips typically are used to hold trim pieces together. Check to see if it seems like any of the trim is not being held in place well. Otherwise maybe its a spare that you can hold onto :like:
I am in Michigan. I might end up posting them here for sale I guess, never thought about that, but yeah, shipping them probably wouldn't be cheap and locally would probably be the easiest.
If you are interested though, I could send you some pictures of them once they are taken off. I am not...
I am in the camp of changing tires out from my HP wheels. I won't be tracking the car and wanted something easier to live with day to day. I have a set of Sport 4s on the way and wondered if its worth trying to sell these Cup2s? They have 2k easy road miles, quite alot of tread left. Has anyone...
I will bump this up, as I too have some trans noise in 2nd gear only, and only when on throttle. I think someone else in the forums had a similar noise to mine but it eventually went away? I only have 2k miles on the car at this point so maybe it will go away, but only is heard when going into...
I think it was you that mentioned a noise in when going into gear in 2nd. Has that gone away? Mine has been stored so I haven't had a chance to see if fluid change will help. But if it went away on its own for you I may just ride it out another couple thousand miles.
I swapped my oil pressure gauge cluster out for a GT350 one which has a higher range for oil pressure. On a cold start it sits right around 105-110psi. I wonder if the oil cooler and other things the car has from the GT350 has something to do with the higher oil pressure, but 100% normal. I too...
Interesting, I haven't found anyone else report a similar issue to mine. Yeah mine does it just in 2nd, and only on throttle or when going into gear. The actual gear change is smooth and no grinding or anything. I am hesitant to take it to a dealer because I don't have any trustworthy ones...
I don't have this issue, but one thing mine does that I noticed is in 2nd gear only, it makes a weird sound going into gear and when on throttle. Almost like the sound of a can of rocks. It goes into gear just fine, but the noise has me slightly concerned for sure. The car is put away for the...
