Transmission grind from 3rd-4th, remove mods before bringing to dealer? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

flashburn · 04-17-2015, 07:43 AM

So I've noticed for a while now that I have a grind from 3rd to 4th when shifting at high RPM's. I noticed that a lot of other people have had this same issue. My question is, currently I have the Perrin Shifter bushing, Whiteline Transmission bushing, and Mtec shifter springs installed. Do you guys think I need to remove all of these mods before bringing in the car to the dealer? I'm guessing so, but I wanted to ask before I spend the time/money to do so.

Bushings:yes. I doubt anyone would notice the Mtec springs unless they go specifically searching for it (and have an OE piece for comparison).

I probably would, for two reasons:

1. Dealer might complain

2. If dealer doesn't complain, but decides to swap/fix the trans, you might end up losing the parts since they most likely wont switch them over (especially the mtec springs).

take 5 minutes to remove the whiteline tranny bushing insert following that dude's guide

leave the rest on and eat the cost.. I am not so sure they'd replace shifter bushings if it turns out to be your tranny. springs probably will be lost

Okay, thanks guys. So someone wrote up a guide specifically on removing the tranny bushing? I'll have to search around for that.

edit: Nevermind, I found the "5 min" install guide. Looks simple enough...

Honestly I think I'm just going to remove the Perrin bushing as well, since it added a lot of NVH, mainly I suspect this whining sound when at low RPM's, which is annoying at highway speeds. Hopefully that isn't too much of a bitch to remove.

let me know how it goes for you OP. I have the same grind but have been too lazy to bring it in.

Man if it wasn't for all of us lazy fuckers, they probably would of recalled it by now!

Son of a bitch... I completely forgot that I had the Perrin transmission support installed at the same time. Of course I didn't realize this until I was under the car, and had the bolt removed and the transmission jacked up a bit. It looked like too big of a job to tackle without a lift, so I'm just going to take it in to a shop to have them remove both at the same time. I was able to remove the shifter bushing at least, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
