RebekahsZ Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) In the past 6 months I have picked up a disturbing/distracting rattle from the T56 in 3rd gear only when getting on it pretty hard. I've looked at ls1tech and googled for it. Others have experienced it but I not yet have found anyone to suggest an internal or external cause. I'm gonna try to get in touch with Tremec next. Suggestions, anyone? It sounds like somebody put my teeth in a blender while holding it by my ear. Still racing this weekend-if it breaks I will learn the cause the fast way!

Phantom Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hmmm - I had something similar to that but it turned out to be loose nuts that held the R200 to the mustache bar. Mine also was when the drivetrain was lightly loaded, started appearing in 6th gear and then got progressively worse with the noise eventually occurring in 5th and 4th also. It would go away when the drivetrain was heavily loaded. Mine did sound awfully similar though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks. I will check that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Tremec rep says either bad u-joint or cracked gear. Time will tell. Spare used T56 arrived yesterday. Edited April 30, 2015 by RebekahsZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Yeah - the track is a great place to find the weak links/damaged parts. Although a detonated T56 could get pretty pricey. I've been driving over 50 years now and one thing I learned a long time ago is to not sweat the odd sounds if they can't be found. They'll either get bad enough to find or they'll go away. I have a about a 50/50 average with that theorem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
