Hey guys, so after roughly 800-900km I started slowly having this issue.
its been more present last few drives and after a 300km in the mountains its a lot noticeable.
when coasting in any gear and applying throttle its like theres play in the tranny and it makes somewhat of a clunking sound and you can slightly feel it as well. However the problem is still there when clutching in and releasing in neutral.
If i clutch in and release you can feel the engagement between clutch and flywheel, well i guess i should say you can hear it, only time you feel it is when coasting in gear or shifting and you feel a slight jerk, initially i thought there was play in the drive shaft but ive looked over that and its fine.'also ruled out the differential as the problem is present when parked.
in my mind some of this makes sense as the transmission is not spinning with out the clutch engaged, however at the same time it just doesn't feel right.
has anyone else noticed this? I was a mechanic for 6 1/2 years and I fully understand mechanical aspect. Still every car is different and before i take it back to deal just want to confirm its just me and not just something this car does. Really its tempting for me to throw the car on the lift and start trouble shooting but since i no longer work at the shop its not that easy and i haven't had the time, Im going to swing by tmr after work to fully check for mechanical failure and fluid levels but the symptom based on my experience seems internal(as in inside the transmission/clutch) rather than a failed external part.
I have a brief video of my car (cold start) with me engaging and disengaging the clutch, you can clearly hear the sound im speaking of.
let me know what you think!
cheers
P.S you can see it drop the idle down as well, and problem is still present even after the cars completely warm. ( after a long drive)
the clutch was babied during break in, I still have not launched the car in any way, but have WOT burned threw 1-4 gears
