so last wednesday i went to sacramento raceway with my friend.
my car was fine for the first 4 or 5 passes, but later on that night when i started my car for the next run, i noticed that my shifter was rattling alot but thought nothing of it and made another pass.
my car shifts fine thoughtout all gears with no difference from before or after the night at the track. i was launching anywhere from 3-4K and did have alot of wheelhop when launching higher.
everything seems fine except for the rattle that lasts from idle to redline, load or no load. could the violent wheelhop have damaged anything in my transmission? a cracked bearing maybe?

check the radius arms and bushings, those are o9ne of the components most affected by violent wheelhop

 

shift **** could be loose...

 

check the motor mounts too... one of the rubber bits could be tore, or worse, the metal.

 

thanks for the replies. i'll check those today.

 

wow man, good times from the a6!

 

ditton on the good times

but i had the same problem couldnt launch my car worth a ****. wheel hop all the way to redline. my front tranny mount was completely torn up so was my rear. i just bought the energy suspension mount fillers for 13 bucks off tunertoys and it solved the problem
