    Transmission Noise in Every Gear

    Thank you Tim for your response. It is already my understanding that my transmission will need a rebuild. My question is, what part within the transmission that would likely cause this noise? This is just to further my knowledge of the DSM transmissions.I also would like to inform the...

    Transmission Noise in Every Gear

    When I dropped the transmission when i replaced the clutch I refilled the transmission fluid with Pennzoil synchromesh. The transmission has always shifted like butter.

    Transmission Noise in Every Gear

    The car was babied. That's why I'm having a hard time knowing that the car has a damaged transmission. I bought this car of the original owner. The guys was in his 60's and the only reason why he was selling it was because he was having a hard time getting in and out of the car.When I changed...

    Transmission Noise in Every Gear

    Since I bought this 98' GSX, I noticed some sort of grinding/rubbing sounds in the drivetrain. At first, the noise was worse and because the noise was not present when the clutch pedal was pushed in, I thought it was the TOB. Now considering the car had 118k miles on it and still had the...

    Slight Grinding noise

    When I replaced the clutch and TOB. Everything seemed to be tight and fine. The only thing i didn't do, was resurface the flywheel. It seemed to be in decent shape. I know it will shorten the life on the clutch. This noise was doing this before I replaced the TOB and clutch as well.Here's a...

    Slight Grinding noise

    OK guys! Finally found out where the noise is coming from! It's coming from the transmission! I jacked the car up off all fours and had someone shift the car into 3rd,4th and 5th gear while I was under the car. Sounds is defiantly coming from transmission. What part in the trans is causing...

    Slight Grinding noise

    When I removed both front axles, both seems to look in pretty good shape. The boots were in perfect shape. Grinding noise only happens in higher gears. (3rd-5th) The noise is louder when I'm in 5th at low speeds while accelerating. You can hear it in the video, every time I let my foot of the...

    Slight Grinding noise

    I already flushed out both the T-case and Rear Diff with Valvoline 75w90 GL-5 gear oilHere's a video. The slight grinding sound almost sounds like gears meshing together irregularly. You will hear it in the clip. Every time I accelerate you'll here the grinding. Every time I decelerate, the...

    2nd gen Aftermarket Power Antenna Install

    Thank you again Love2Rallye for your input. You've been a great help on this subject!Regarding the diagram you attached in the last post. The plug that is labeled hatch glass antenna might be something else. Both are plugged into my stock unit and when I pulled that one out the radio lost...

    Slight Grinding noise

    Ok so today I popped the hood and reved the engine a couple of times to see any motor movement. There was alittle bit of movement, but that is what to be expected, I believe. I visually check all three tranny mounts when I dropped the transmission and all of them looked to be in pretty good...

    2nd gen Aftermarket Power Antenna Install

    Yeah, it works in the ON position and when i turn the car off, it goes back down. The antenna coax cable is plugged in correctly and still does not work. I turned the stock radio to a bunch of known local stations and I get nothing but static. I cant even hear any music... just static. Is...

    Slight Grinding noise

    Motor Mounts? I never though of this being the issue? How would worn motor mounts cause this noise? I thought i was getting closer to the issue, knowing that replacing the t-case and rear diff oils made the issue worse.I'm at a lost here.

    Slight Grinding noise

    OK guys. I finally got to work on the car this weekend.I dropped the transmission and replaced the TOB, clutch and pressure plate. I took her out for a spin this morning and she still is making a noise. On acceleration in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear I can still hear a slight grinding noise coming...

    2nd gen Aftermarket Power Antenna Install

    Thank you Luv2rallye. If you look at the two wires that i spliced ( black wire w/ white stripe and white wire with black stripe ) you can see I already tried that connection strategy.I think I'm messing up with the ground. I attached the ground wire right to the car, which it looks like I'm...

    2nd gen Aftermarket Power Antenna Install

    Thanks for the help guys. I still haven't been able to work on the car since it's at my parent's house. I can't believe no one has bought this type of aftermarket antenna for their DSM. I don't have a problem using the multimeter, but it would save a lot of cutting and splicing wires performing...

    [RESOLVED] 2G 95 Power Antenna Swap Need Wiring Diagram

    Thank you guys for clearing up which wires are what within the stock harness. Did the person find out where the three wires need to be spliced to? This tread really never ended with a solution.

    Trans/T-case flush during engine break in

    I heard and did some research on Pennzoil Synchromesh. I know a lot of guys on this forum are running this in their trannys full time and can be bought at your local Napa/Autozone stores.It's a lot cheaper than Redline MT90 and is proven for our brass metal parts within our transmissions. This...

    2nd gen Aftermarket Power Antenna Install

    What's going on fellow DSMersI did a very intense search on replacing the power antenna with an aftermarket unit and found a couple of threads but never really found a solution. In this Resolved thread I found out which each wire is for but I'm having a hard time figuring out which wires I...

    Slight Grinding noise

    Thank you so much guys for the responses.I took it out one more time, and I'm certain it's a transmission issue. The slight metal grinding sound goes away when i push in the clutch. My question is, why does the grinding sound only happens (while driving) in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear and not the...

    Transmission noise - Need some guidance

    Higher rpms?If I'm in 1st gear at 4k rpms, how is this any different than 4k rpms in 5th gear?I understand how a throw out bearing works, I'm just confused why it only happens in the higher gears. I've had a throw out bearing go on me and it effected all gears, didn't matter if I was in 1st...
  32. vr4joe

    Transmission noise - Need some guidance

    If it was the throw out bearing, wouldn't you hear this noise in all gears? I only hear it in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear while driving regularly. As soon as I push in the clutch, the noise stops. I can drive around in 1st and 2nd gear completely fine without hearing the slight grinding noise.

    Slight Grinding noise

    Hey guys, I've finally been able to figure where the grinding noise is coming from. It almost sounds like its coming from the rear end or driveshaft. Again, the noise only happens when i'm under load. (3rd, 4th or 5th gear). When I accelerate in 1st or 2nd gear, I do not hear this noise. Could...

    leaky flex pipe? new exaust!

    You're right. I should have said MOST eBay systems are not full stainless steel. Just read very carefully and do some research on what you are buying.

    leaky flex pipe? new exaust!

    Hahahaha you got the whole exhaust system if that's exactly what you get in the mail.Problem with those eBay exhaust systems are they typically rust really quick because they dont use stainless. Those headers almost always crack within a year or so as well. This one looks like it has a flex...

    2g 18 inch wheels on stock struts?

    2g 18 inch wheels on stock struts?

    Sorry I didn't realize you had a TSI. For some reason I thought you has a GS (16" stock rims, I believe). I was a told awhile ago that the rule of thumb was you were only allowed to increase your rim size by 1 inch from stock size.I wasn't referring to rotational stress, I was referring to...

    2g 18 inch wheels on stock struts?

    You'll be buying new struts in the near future with those new 18's. Remember, with any new upgraded part typically adds stress to surrounding older stock parts. With those new 18" rims, you'll have thinner tires, which adds more stress to your struts and springs.
