Hey all!

Ok i was flooring it from first, then shifted to second at about 6000rpm, then when I was getting closer to redlining in second i heard a strange "grinding" noise and I know it sounds weird but it's like I felt it on the accelerator on my feet. But the noise was coming from the engine. I pulled over and everything seemed fine. And I tried to get that grinding noise again but it didn't grind.

Any ideas what that might have been? maybe the throttle cable or something? thanks!

time to start double clutching second

EDIT: nm you said it wast the tranny?

Colbert

ya know what, maybe it was the tranny just slipping a bit and I am a tad paranoid hehe



No biggy!

Kenteth

does it do it when you double clutch into second?

You might have just found the resonant frequency for your secong gear/ engine combination (That wouldn't exactly be a grinding noise, but the fact you can't get a repeat performance is good- that means you might not have broken anything!)

Colbert

that's just the thing, i can't seem to get it to do it again.


So maybe it was some rock flying underneath the car who knows.

Hmmmm eh?
