FIRST TIME AT TRACK, NOW TRANNY PROBLEMS.

5.0FUZ · August 15th, 2007, 12:39 AM

I ran my car for the first time at the track it ran a 14.2, on the drive bakc down the strip i started hearing some clanging goin on from the shifter area. car still shifts fine, clutch seems to grab fine, just hearing sort of a grinding noise while moving, even in neutral. When I hit a high rpm from any gear i hear a rattling noise. anyone have any clue as to what it may be. could that be a throwout bearing, or the flywheel?

How did you launch?

EDIT: For that matter, how did you shift?

usmcsawgunner · August 15th, 2007, 07:35 AM

you sure its the tranny? might be the rear end or even the drive shaft....when i took my car down the first time the guy who had the car before me had the drive shaft only hand tight and it dropped....made a cool light show......not really more expensive than cool

JBIGBOOTSY · August 15th, 2007, 06:36 PM

check your drive shaft bolts.

5.0FUZ · August 15th, 2007, 07:42 PM

Wouldn't the driveshaft continually make a rattling sound not just at high RPM. As far as launching I tached at about 1500 and dumped it, and shifted at about 5500.

5.0FUZ · August 15th, 2007, 07:49 PM

incase it matters I was speed shifting also

5.0FUZ · August 16th, 2007, 04:07 PM

so I checked the driveshaft, nothing wrong with that. Anyother suggestions?

If it was hand tight it would have dropped prob the first week after you got the car..

I was having the same problem. I had a bad bearing in my tranny. It is not to expensive to repair but can be a pain in the arse.

5.0FUZ · August 17th, 2007, 07:15 AM

I lucked out and my buddy has a spare t-5 but it came outta the 2.3. He said I'll need to use my bellhousing, a new pilot bearing and it should bolt right up. Sound about right? BTW he's givin it to me for $100 incuding an A/C condensor

5.0FUZ · August 17th, 2007, 07:39 PM

Is there any chance that a tranny problem would cause a car to "pop" from the exhaust while in 3rd gear at 2500 rpm? Please say yes, I don't need motor problems

Black Five 0h · August 17th, 2007, 07:55 PM

unfortunately i dont think so

5.0FUZ · August 17th, 2007, 08:13 PM

any idea what that might sound like? maybe just a tune up?

bossman2kgt · August 18th, 2007, 06:29 PM

Sounds like the rear end.

5.0FUZ · August 19th, 2007, 04:00 PM

WHAT IN THE REAR WOULD MAKE THE EXHAUST POP?

bossman2kgt · August 19th, 2007, 08:26 PM

I meant actual popping sound from the rear end. Also have you done any mods to ur suspension lately?

onehot351 · August 20th, 2007, 07:21 PM

if you are hearing a rattling noise at high rpms it might be a bearing.. how many miles are on the car. and how hard did u launch.. and what rpms are u shifting at

5.0FUZ · August 21st, 2007, 02:18 AM

I launched at 1500, shifted at 5k and haven't done any suspension work, Car has 128,000 miles
