Stop trying to interrupt the circlejerk! My manual transmission makes noises, IT'S NOT NORMAL, okay!

Cool, thanks! I don't plan on forced induction anytime soon (or ever really...). I just want to be able to install headers later without worry.

I've got a silly question. On Borla's website, they list a 2.5" and 3" version of the S-Type (and the ATAK). Is the 3 inch version only sold through Borla? Or not released yet? Curious, because I like the sound of the S-type the best, personally. I am considering adding Kooks long tube...

PM Sent. Thanks Rachel, as always, your presence is appreciated here.

Objective opinion: both colors are beautiful and it could really be a question of availability, which color is available with the options and packages you want. if you're the kind of person to like these types of colors, then you won't be disappointed either way. Biased personal opinion: one...

Really! My noise was accompanied by a wierd idle-return hunt. When I blipped the throttle, as the engine returned to idle, it would drop way below normal idle speed, then jump back up, then back down, then hit idle. This made me suspect there was something amiss with the VCT phasers. I...

Oh yes, I showed them the video and gave them the link. No one tried to play the "we can't replicate it, so F you" or "it's normal" cards. They tried for over a week to replicate it, and were only able to do it once. They told me to bring it back if it made the noise again. As much as it...

I had a similar rattle: [ame] After a week and a half at the dealership, they were only able to replicate it once, and not long enough to diagnose it. It stopped making the noise. So I took the car back.

An untruer statement couldn't have been made. The 2015 shifter design is much improved (night and day, the 11-14 shifter is garbage, no arguments there), and people aren't having widespread problems missing shifts, popping out of gear, or getting locked out of gears during cornering. A few...

Thanks for the heads up. I will probably do this in the coming weeks (before March 15th), along with the whiteline or steeda transmission mount insert. I'm still undecided as to whether I should use Redline MTL, Amsoil, or Royal Purple. Isn't this what comes in the gearbox from the factory...

I've got 1600 miles on mine with no transmission issues. It thuds and nibbles 1-2 and 2-3 when cold (talking like 20* F range). I don't consider these issues, so I'd say it acts like a normal manual transmission. I'd like to swap fluids out just for experimentation sake, and install the...

Well, I had it towed to the dealership this evening. No idea what it is yet.

Whoops. Done. Thanks!

Well, got my first issue. Anyone want to guess at what kind of noise this is while I wait to get into the service department? I gotta schedule an appointment for Tuesday or later for someone to look at it/listen to it (what the F ever...), so until then, something in the drivetrain will play...

So, maybe I'm wrong, and someone can point me to a thread stating the opposite, but has there been a case of confirmed MT-82 transmission failure on this board yet? I can see a few issues that turned out to be TOB, clutch, or flywheel, but not actual transmission failures. To answer this...

All MT-82s got updated for the 2015 model year. Besides the shifter being completely revised, the synchronizers were redesigned. I don't remember what else, but you can google it. Of course, every piece of OEM equipment in history can be improved when not working with the same design and...

Model - GTPP Miles - 1400 Temperature Range - 10 - 65 Fahrenheit (Kansas is F-ing cold this time of year) Grinds - I grind 6th occasionally, but that's due to operator error, I've caught myself accidentally letting the clutch out too early on the 5-6 shift, derp. I occasionally also get a...

I pulled .86G lateral (left, so taking a right turn) sustained at ~40*F ambient temp. Tires weren't "warmed up" properly, but the grip was there. Before it got cold here, it felt like I couldn't take an off-ramp or on-ramp fast enough to even touch the handling limit. The suspension and...

Next was the tail light sequencer. Simple. The 2010-2014 Raxiom sequencer works on the 2015. But it's ever-so-slightly more involved to get to the tail light harnesses. First, remove the back hard plastic trunk panel, which is already done in this pic. Four knob nuts twist off, then pull...

Here's my build log. It will be slow probably, because I'm really pretty busy most of the time, but I have (had) 2 weeks off from work for christmas and new years, so I had a bit of time to do some stuff I've been wanting to do since day one. For now, it's just cosmetic. Here's where I...
