Has anyone else heard a grinding / clattering noise when car is out of gear? When I press the clutch the noise goes away... whrn the car is warmed up the noise also seems to go away.
I haven't experienced that at all.
Sometimes when it's cold shifting in to R-1-2 are a little crunchier than I would like at first though.
yeah thats the story when it comes to stealerships.....as for the noise, i find if i drop into 2nd then go into reverse there is no "grinding" I assume the syncros are the true culprit.I have a appointment at my dealer for 9am friday... It might not amount to much since prior experience's with me hearing strange sounds coming from velosters has always led to service manager's saying "the technician did not hear anything".... so we will see.
What about this for the noise -- have a light-weight aluminum box, about 2'x2'x2', put about 5 of the little metal jacks (like in the kids game), and then very slowly rotate the box, so the jacks will just barely slide along. That sound like your noise?put some little ball bearings in a empty pop can and shake it around... thats the best I can describe it.
