Repairs took 5 weeks. $1729 at current exchange rate.
Noise is gone after the repairs. Gearbox is much smoother, all the stiffness that we experience in low temp is gone. Gears feel very secure.

........and....... your question/comment is .. ??

Are you hearing those sounds after that work was done .. or before it was done .. ??

Sharing is caring

I currently hear a sound when approaching a red light and coming to a stop. Do you know what caused it that they replaced?

Between this and the crickets from the fuel pump. I almost should a went with something else.

one of those bearings in the gearbox was the cause.

daaaa.......I need to read closer ........ :bonk:

Hi ya, Silver_Bullet ....... :)

The HPFP is what it is.

For your clutch/transmissions concerns, I suggest you take it in to the dealership for a look see.

Life is too short to drive a car you're not happy with.

Sorry for late reply. I had trouble logging in using taptalk. I took it to dealer. He said the sound is coming from up front not the rear end. At first they couldn't hear it but such crap. I was able to show a mechanic the sound during a test drive. It sounds like a grinding down either of the gears or maybe up by the tranny clutch.

make sure to downshift rev match all the way to first gear to drown out that sound

I may be "flywheel chatter". Apparently the flywheel on these cars is a dual mass flywheel (I just got schooled on that) and can make some noise, especially when it's winding down.
