Weird transmission crunching noise?
So I was driving this afternoon and I started hearing some minor noises from the car while I was downshifting into 2nd. I soon discovered the noise is reproducible when you take your foot off the gas in 2nd gear.
It also did it when I started from a dead stop in 1st, and turning slightly in reverse. I ended up eating lunch with my friend, drove the car again, and it was silent and made no noise, as much as I tried to see if it would make noise again... We stopped someplace else for an hour, and wanted to see if it would do it again -- and this time brought out the camera -- it did it louder than ever, and we recorded it! Obviously I'll be taking it to the dealer on Monday, but I'm curious if anybody has any ideas? Here is the video! I was in 2nd at the time, revved up gently to about 3000rpm, and took my foot off the gas. Then you hear crunch crunch crunch.... it's most apparent at 0:05 but you can hear it a few times. |

Woah that is not normal. It's weird though because it almost sounds like an exaggerated sound from the syncro or even the gears. I'd get it in ASAP.

Just got the call back from the dealer. I am going to need a new manual transmission. This sucks! I've never driven the car in an abusive way, and it's a 2011 and not even a year old. I really hope I don't have any more problems down the line. At least that's what the warranty is for!

Man, that sounds horrible, but can't imagine what inside the transmission could cause that . Hope dealer knows what they're doing. Make sure they check everything when the tranny comes down. With all that racket, there must be an obvious telltale of the issue. I'd make sure they find it before putting the car back together. Have them check flywheel and clutch as well. Good luck man, and keep us posted.

So, follow up to this thread for any of you all still interested. The new transmission was ready to be installed and during installation they noticed there was a bolt loose somewhere in the driveline. During reverse loads, it was making contact with the heat shield. It was a total simple fix -- tighten the bolt, and the problem was gone. No damage to any component, and my original transmission never had a problem, it just was resonating the noise through there. Dealer had to send back the transmission they ordered for me. I'm glad it wasn't really a serious problem!
