Today is September the 7th 2007. I have had the transmission for nearly 2 years now. I have made a lot of passes with it at the track. And have made 21 passes with it behind a 454.
I have picked up a noise that I cant explain. I am pretty sure its the transmission. It only does it under higher RPM. I can do it / create it at will. Especially in 1st gear if I am accelerating hard and then dont shift, if I leave it in gear and engage the clutch the transmission will make a really odd noise. Almost like a grinding. Its as if its gears with rounded teeth. Its not a crunch but more like a rubbing. I dont think its synchros as I can shift up and down flawlessly.
Could it be the new rear end? Its got a detroit locker. Its driveline..no doubt.
One time I was able to do it in reverse at a stand still. Clutch engaged, as I pulled it into reverse it made the noise.
Comments anyone?
