I dont currently have any shifting problems or other tranny issues, but when Im sometimes coasting in gear or very lightly on the throttle, I can hear a slight droning noise that Im positive is from the trans. If I increase the throttle some, it will quickly go away. It kinda feels like it does it when there is not much load on the trans parts, like theres some slack or play in there. And as soon as I touch the gas hard enough to take the slack out, it goes away. Its been doing it for awhile now so Im not too concerned. But Im wondering if it might be bearings getting worn, or maybe gears or something. Ive changed trans fluids a few times but that doesnt seem to make a difference.

 

I have a similar problem with the thanny too. It only makes nosies when i am in gear and coasting while off or light on the throttle.

Could it have anything to do with the clutch being worn out or loose?

 

Could be clutch I guess, mine is screwed up but its not worn out by any means, or maybe the lightweight flywheel "buzzing" or something.

 

Did I tell you mine makes the same noise the other day on the phone?

 

I believe you did. I never thought much about it til you said something so I figured Id get some opinions

 

mine does it too...i dont wory about it too much

 

maybe the dreaded input shaft bearing
i'll have to hear it myself

if you are coasting in gear, and then, push in the clutch, does it go away?

 

Dan Ill give it a try and let u know. It doesnt seem to be getting progressively worse though so thats why I never worried about it. Ill take you for a ride at the BBQ.

Yes for me. Its a churning noise that moves as fast as the car is revving and when I push in the clutch or move to neutral it stops.

Ill take you for a ride when I see ya for Korean BBQ

 

well if it is the input shaft bearing,
its best to fix it right away
as the damage may not be much now
but it WILL slowly ruin all the gears, and wind up costing a lot more than $70 in parts (which is what the bearings cost)

from your description is sounds like input shaft bearing
although its best to check other parts, which are easier to fix
wheel bearing
axles
throw out bearing

 

Ill take my chances and wait til I see you at the BBQ so you can see for yourself LOL Looks like Dan is gonna be busy haha

 

Well I can tell you that my driver side axel has crapped out on me because of 3 1/4 mile runs w/ my Drag radials about 3 weeks ago.

The car is beginning to make some noises that could either be a bearing or my Azenis showing signs or wear.
As for the TO bearing and input shaft bearing im not sure exactly what to check for to know if those are the culprit.

 

You guys cna actually hear anything over azenis road noise?

I thought everyone was full of **** until about 2 weeks ago when the noises started and now its deafening

 

Sounds like you're driving over a freight train

 

funny
i've gotten acutomed to the tire sound, and can't even hear it anymore

 

my tires (*** ho's) are completely bald, and Im on the stock exhaust, so I can hear everything now
