there is a weird distinct noise at higher rpms. when i shift it goes away, but on the following gear the noise comes back at high rpms.... could it be the tranny? i also read that it could be my head going...
has any one had this before?its hard to describe....
1st gear sounds normal, regular acceleration sound, then when it gets to a high rpm, about 3500, its distinctly different.
instead of rrrrrrrrrrrrr it goes grgrgrgrgrgrrrri don't hear the noise when i'm in neutral and i rev the engine....

i really need help it has been driving me crazy

please i need any advice i can get
- Thank you

 

what type of fluid you running in the tranny?

 

i do not know ... i just bought it and was going to change the fluid cause i was thinking there was barely any but i need to wait for that money haha

 

is it your valvetrain? i had a z6 make all kinds of weird noises when it hit v-tec

 

sound clip plz.... could be rod knock valve tick exhaust rattles/baffles .... the list goes on.... need more info. my gsr swap sounds like it has a rod knock sometimes around that rpm cuz the baffles in my mugen muffler are loose.

 

i dont think you can hear it too well unless you are in the car sorry but i actually think its a bearing in the tranny the one they replace when you get your clutch replaced

 

no.
if it were the throw-out bearing it would only make noise with the clutch disengaged (foot on pedal).


input shaft bearing is a possibility though.
