Grinding on hard acceleration

[xGrafitti]

No the grinding isn't when I shift it's actually in the gears itself.. Any suggestions to what exactly it is? Check the video! I mainly just want to know if the transmission is fixable before I go and get a new one put in.

Why are you so sure its the transmission?? Im just wondering?

 

[ChrisKROSS]

It could be a number of things...

 

[xGrafitti]

The grinding is coming right from where the transmission is.

 

[JONSHERER]

Havnt watched any vids but mine grinds under acceleration and I'm pretty sure its the clutch worn out. Just a suggestion?

 

[AK Maniak]

Unless your clutch isn't properly adjusted it shouldn't grind no matter how worn out it is.

 

[miguelmcv]

I'm agree with AK Maniak, Clutch shouldn't grind.

I am experimenting the same thing, But my car bounces up and down on the passenger side, I do know from fact that my passenger Strut is shot, so I think the bouncing is because of that, However, I just don't see any relation from the strut to the grinding.

Please be sure to let me know what it comes down to if you figure it out.

Agreed.. Sounds normal to me. Thats why i asked how do you know its the transmission.

It can be a number of things, turbo etc..

I can't hear anything in your video. Could you make a better one for us please.

I had similar sound on my 2g and after inspecting axles, shocks, balljoints, and all, it ended up being tranny mount and rear mount.
Video doesnt provide good sound, but according to your description, it sounds like the problem I had.
After I swapped to Prothane insterts, noise was gone.

Really? I can hear it fine. But I'll definitely look into that.

If you thinks its grinding change the fluid, if theres a grind most likely there will be shavings, same with t case. Also were you driving it for a while then all of a sudden it started happening or?

Sadly it wasn't the mounts. Anymore suggestions guys? Also it started this a few weeks after replacing the clutch. New fluids were added.

 

[boblong6]

well if it started when you chaged the clutch I would assume its something with clutch or trans. and i would check the fluids to make sure there no shavings in fluid.

If it were my clutch I wouldn't be able to drive it.

Actually you can just fine. You can hear it most is 1st.

If it were your clutch installation, it could be caused by that. Are you sure you did everything correctly? Made sure everything is flush? I know a guy whos transmission bolts broke and his tranny was hanging halfway on. Or it could even be your tob thatis giving out. You did put a new one in when you did your clutch job, right?

Everything was done correctly, yes.

 

[project spyder2g]

Were able to figure out what the problem was? Im hearing the same noise and I also just did my clutch and flywheel

 

[DSM1G90]

? Wheel bearings ?

 

[project spyder2g]

No I've just replaced wheel bearings . It sounds like coming from Rf end possibly crossmember bushings or motor mounts?

 

[V8nothin]

Ok one thing i havnt seen mentioned here is about the 5th backwards bolt on the transmission...a lot of people overlook this bolt on the opposite side of the transmission when replacing...and will cause these issues!basically the one bolt holds the hole other side of the transmission on.(if you dont have this on the tranny is only held on one side. There should be 4 bolts on passenger side then the other bolt opposite side on backside of motor..i will see if i could find a picture to post quick[DOUBLEPOST=1410227615][/DOUBLEPOST]look at this post here there is a diagram with the bolt pattern. Bolt "Q" is the backwards bolt and is thinner than the other 4 bolts. It is located next to the axel Important you have this bolt on or trans will take a beating and not work right...hope this helps brohttp://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/cone-shaped-transmission-bolt-stripped.446812/

 

[Meech Meimaris]

Very interesting, I was going to say axles or turbo myself, thanks for sharing that link ^^^

Meech

 

[project spyder2g]

Well I haven't had time to look underneath the car. But how can that one bolt cause a grinding noise? Also I was thinking of cross member bushings they sis look worn. The ones under front tranny mount
