I was out cruisin around the other night and i was taking first gear out to about 8,000 rpms, and just about when got it into second gear my car made a suprisingly loud knocking sound...it sounded like some if someone were to hit a piece of wood with hammer real hard...does anybody have a clue as to what this may be? Has anyone else experienced this in an 05 type s?

 

Nothing....

 

It happens sometimes at high rpm's. Don't worry about it its a common problem. I know there was a thread earlier with a guy talking about this.

 

dunno, but my ep3 has done the same thing when i'm beating the hell out of it. i've got @ 110K on the odo., original clutch and trans. and everthing seems aok.

 

Yeah i read that thread shortly after i posted this...but is it something i should get looked at...because it really did sound like i screwed something up....i actually pulled over on the side of the road to check everything out...will there be any damage to the transmission....thanks for all your help!!!

 

cars arent supposed to make funny sounds like a hammer hitting wood...
only the vroooOOOOMMm Psht

get it checked out

ps. would this be covered in the warranty if its a problem with the tranny?

 

Anyone else....im trying to get as much feedback as possible before i make an appointment to take this up to criswell??!

 

i never heard of that problem from any of my buddies with dc5's i woulda pulled over too, prolly sat in the car idling for 30 min LoL

 

never had that problem

 

Yeah, that's not good. My car has NEVER made that noise. In fact, any car I've owned has never made THAT kind of noise.

But my friend's did. Turns out he broke a motor mount. Maybe that'll start you in the right direction.

And also...sometimes the K-series engines make a loud pop out of the intake side when shifting in lower gears. No one has ever been able to figure it out but it's pretty loud with an aftermarket intake installed. It probably has something to do with the VTC. Mine does it every once in a while shifting to second from a high RPM first gear. It happens right when I push in the clutch and let off the gas.

 

my friends 06 type s is making the same noise we cant figure it out anyone have this same problem?? its a very loud noise !

 

Dgreen explained it perfectly...thats exactly what im experiencing!

 

those DC5 trannies may be it i dunno i hear alot of crap about em

my EP3 never did that besides when a gear came thru casing at dragstrip lol
