I never really have issues forcing it in gear but I've had the grind or scratch in 2nd and 3rd gear (mainly 3rd even sometimes when fully warm) since it had 6 miles on it. Should have taken it to the dealer sooner.
I'm not new to manual cars. If it's scratching or grinding now at some point...
Okay I have the thud which doesn't really bother me. What really bothers me is the grind or scratch I get in 2nd and 3rd. I also have a marble like sound when in lower gears going slow (parking lot speeds). I'm at 2200 miles and ready to just have the dealer look at. Some say they have success...
Seems there's no ingot silver owners who've changed bumpers or are parting out out there. There was one a few minutes after my incident but someone was 5 minutes faster than me on ebay because I wanted to ask questions.
Almost had one this morning in perfect condition with pp splitter. I saw it last night but wanted to ask some question before I committed to buying it and some guy from Vegas beat me by 5 minutes.
I have seen several post of people talking about the trans grinding. Mine grinds in 2nd and 3rd. I plan on taking it in after the holidays to get it looked at and documented. 1600 miles and no mods. Probably should have taken it in sooner.
I'm just going to take it to the dealer the first go around since it's free and change it again myself at 3000 to air on the safe side. I was going to do the first change at 5000 but after seeing a cut open filter in the 350 sub forum I changed my mind lol.
I just hit 1500 miles and thinking about about changing my oil. Would you guys trust the dealer with oil change or just diy?
Also what is the most commonly used oil?
The way the extended warranty was explained to me is it runs in conjunction with the factory warranty. So it makes more sense to get the extended warranty right before your factory warranty expires. I was told this by the dealer so it could be a lie.
