Strange resonance (scratching, ball bearings?) in 3rd gear
 

Has anyone had this issue before?

There is a strange scratching like plates or ball bearings whirring. It's not the engine, because it happens only in 3rd gear.

Seems to get muted if i press down under the gear shift leather.

Thanks,
N

Have the dealer look at it. These transmissions are suspect. I had my syncros rebuilt
because 5th was gone.

Sham, maybe you should have bought an automatic ?? :ylsuper:

Its not my fault the gears can't keep up with my blazing speed and move from one gear to the other as fast as I can!


Dan, I forgot how brutal the traffic is in London and I don't blame you at all for not coming in to town. As it stands, I have a tight schedule. But I do want to see you and will do my best for Tuesday night the 12th of September to come out your way. My last appointment finishes at about 5 PM and if all works out, I could be in your neck of the woods by 6:30PM. But anything can happen so I'll call you in the middle of the day on Tuesday to confirm what I will do. Enjoy your dinner with Monica and if I can make it out, great. If not, a la prochene opportunite! Just have some cold beer ready if I can make it. I would say I'm about 75% sure I'll be coming out.

Send me your telephone numberr by a private message.


Aurovoir pour maintenant.

Dan .. AT !!
