ok i'm gonna buy a 89 turbo 2 and the question i have is that when i down shift to slowdown it makes a wired noise..but it also has the shift boot off so it that the the tranny making norman noise or what do u think let me know any feed back please!! thankx

Whizbang

aer you rev matching when your downshifting? downshift - rev matching = pissed off synchros

Bukwild

yeah trannys always go on these cars. You can usually pick up a lower mileage jspec for around 300. I actually would like to grab a newer one.

and it shifts really clean it dosnt dunk

theman4444

does it sound like a grind, or clank, or gurgle.

ErikTheDead

i belive he was asking if you were rev matching like you are suposed to. Matching the engines speed the gear you are about to shift down to. If you do not do that, your syncros will be doing all the work, and that is not a good thing.

and can yall hear your turbo spool up from stock ??.....i've never drivin a turbo 2 so i dont know what all these noises are...also when i made a right a buzzer came on...i think the oil light came on but not sure...also abs and e brake light is on what can i do....i saw that the brake fluid is down well all of them were down. what do yall think

theman4444

If it were me i'd make the guy do a nice 60k mile tune up before i bought it. Change all oils and belts, bleed lines and see if there's anything funny after that. Hopefully that'll at least take care of some of the lights. If it's low on oil it could possibly make the light come on when you make a turn, but this is all just speculation. How much is it going for?

My turbo has always been loud. even when it was completely stock.

the buzzer might have been the add coolant light, mine goes off all the time and what kind of noise was the trans. making again?

like u can hear it thourgh the ac vents?

neptuneRX

its a good thing when your engine braking...

The buzzer that sounds when you turn (hard) is probably the low oil level warning. Check the oil and see if it's low.

Naa, To me it just sounds like air flowing (kinda like an air compressor.)

DriftingB26RX7

iTrader: (4)

yes thats what it was i think

Madrx7racer

1. it might be your diff. making a slight whiiiiiirrr sound.
2. the buzzer could be 1 of 2 things
----a. the add coolant buzzer
----b. low oil(comes on when there is about 2 qts. left.
----c. make it a habit to revmatch when you downshift and use the brakes too.

3. you should not be able to hear a stock turbo spool...at least not loud...

Madrx7racer

make sure you get a comprssion test before you hand the money order and look for the signs of a blown coolant seal.
