olie05 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Today, I did a pretty hard launch in my car from 3000rpms. It was a good launch and all, but afterwards I noticed that the grinding sound I usually hear only in 4th or 5th gear was happening in all gears and anytime the clutch was let out. I think I already posted about this before, but it didn't sound as loud. If anyone wants to hear it I can send you a "media message" on your cell phone since I don't know how to upload a cell phone recorded thing. this sound is louder than my engine on the recording I took of it, so that should give you a pretty good idea of why this has become post-worthy (to me at least) Tomorrow I will get the oil changed and see if that makes any diffference, because I have a suspicion that it may be low gear oil. I'm crossing my fingers that that will fix it :/ anyone want to tell me what they think is going on in the tranny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 ok here is an update with more info. I took the car to xpress lube to have the gear oil drained, a flush, and refill. There were big metal shards on the magnetic drain plug, three to be exact with the average size about, 1" x 1/16" x 1/14". The oil that came out was completely metallic. I'm going to get another transmission this week and replace the old one sometime next weekend. I hope this fluid change will help it make it for the next week that I have to commute. (i'm staying off the freeways) -Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
