Nissan - Versa :: 2007 - Clutch Feels Loose And Slight Grinding Sound When Shifting Only From Neutral To First Gear

Still chugging along!!

So, I haven't been the kindest car owner to my poor little hatchback. I do my best to get regular oil changes, but other than replacing the brakes last year, I have not kept up with most of the manufacturer's suggested regularly scheduled maintenance. The car has about 130,000 miles. Manual Transmission. My clutch feels a little loose, and I have been noticing a slight grinding sound when shifting (only from neutral to first gear).

Toyota - Celica :: 1990 - Has Grinding Noise While Shifting Into 2nd Gear

got a sweet deal on it but only 1 problem with the car. when i shift into 2nd gear there is a grinding noise, however it doesnt grind if i drive super slow... it doesnt really matter if i upshift or downshift into 2nd it will make the noise either way... also the grinding noise is only there WHILE shifting the lever into 2nd gear so its only there for a second, once the lever is shifted into 2nd gear there is no grinding noise at all...not sure if this is related but the clutch pedal also feels very lose just when its about to hits the floor...

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 1998 4.2L - Grinding When Down Shifting Into 3rd Gear

A few weeks ago I bot this truck to have some fun with. 98 F150 4.2l with a lift and some beefy tires. Well something to get me into trouble. On the test drive i never herd anything, mostly because I wasn't ripping it around. I know very little about transmissions, mostly because I never had a problem before.

I have a grinding noise when down shifting into 3rd for either 4 or 5th. It doesn't happen when I am going from 2-3. It also wont happen if i keep the clutch disengaged for a few seconds. It almost like the transmission need time to slow down for a second before shifting.

It also does this going into reverse.

Toyota - Corolla :: 2008 - Grinding Occurs Intermittently When Shifting Up Into 3rd Gear

I bought 2008 Corolla S 5 speed with 62K miles. Now have 135K miles. When shifting up into 3rd gear, a grinding occurs intermittently, more often as miles accumulate. I try to make sure clutch pedal is fully depressed. No problems occur with other forward gears, up or down. What the problem might be and/or what can be done to fix? This is the sixth car I have owned with manual transmission. Never a problem like this!

Golf V R32 :: Slight Grinding / Vibration Noise On Takeoff?

I've recently been hearing a grinding/vibration noise on takeoff. I only hear it pretty much as soon as my foot comes off the brake, when the car is in drive, and the car gets its first bit of forward engagement/movement. It seems to only happen when the DSG engages in drive, before I put my foot on the gas pedal.

The closest thing I can say it sounds like is an exhaust rattle, but way less violent/not metal on metal sounding.

Golf IV R32 :: Started With A Clunk And Getting Slight Grinding Noise

I've got 39K on an 04' R32, just had new tires put on 17" rims and the car was aligned. Whether the alignment has anything to do with these noises I'm not sure but thought I should at least mention it. I'm also still on the original front brake pads if that matters.

So, shortly after getting the tires & alignment done I was driving at around 35-40 mph down a steep hill and applied the brakes. I heard what I'll call a clunk and it felt like something shifted. No other noises were heard or felt until I got home. As I rolled backwards into my parking spot with the tires cocked to the left I hit the brakes and again heard a clunk. However, this clunk was much quieter. It sounded like it came from the front drivers side wheel and I could feel the "clunk" in the steering wheel ever so slightly.

Next day I went down the same hill and applied the brakes quickly and a bit hard. Nothing. No clunk, no noise, nothing. Got home and when parking heard/felt a small clunk. A friend said it might be the caliper or pads shifting which made sense to my ignorant a$$ because the pads are originals.

Since I don't drive the car much I'm waiting on getting it checked out and wanted to do some research here before I take it in. Well, it's time to take it in because now I'm getting a slight grinding noise when the wheel is turned any amount to the right and also when I turn hard to the left. I can feel a slight vibration in the steering wheel too when this grinding noise occurs.

I've seen some posts that seem similar to my situation. They include wheel bearings, sway bar linkage, coil something or other and hopefully not CV joint. Is it possible the alignment caused something to go bad? If so, I'll go back to that shop. I really want to avoid the dealership because I hate being raped on parts.

Golf/GTI VI :: Plastic Grinding Noise When Shifting From 1st To Second On Cold Days

I have been doing some research on why my 6sp MT makes a weird almost "Plastic Grinding" noise when shifting from 1st to second on cold days when it sits overnight. It has been getting under 40 degree that last couple days and it seems to go away after just a few minutes of driving. It only happens from 1st to 2nd. I have been told its normal and just because the trans fluid is thicker when cold.

Golf/GTI VII :: Won't Shifting Into Gear?

So I just got home from a road trip yesterday, no problems on the trip. This morning I drive out of my neighbourhood, turn onto the highway and I think to myself, that's strange, clutch feels a little notchy ... and then I go to shift gears and it won't go into gear. Any gear. I push down and it just won't engage, it pops right back up. Had to walk a mile home carrying my kid in his car seat and trailing my 6 year old little girl. Now I'm getting it towed home so I can check the engine bay to make sure everything is cool. If everything is connected and I can't determine the issue then I gotta flash back to stock and hit up VW and have it towed over there.

Golf/GTI VI :: Slight Crunchy Sound When Accelerate From 1st Gear

My GTI is about a month old and I just recently started to notice a slight crunchy sound if I accelerate from 1st gear really slow (right around 1k rpm, maybe a little higher). You have to be going pretty slow and it goes away the second it goes to 2nd gear. It's almost like a creaking wooden floor but more metallic sounding, or driving over a soda can... It's really hard to describe.

I noticed this about week 2, but it seems to have gotten a little louder since then, or maybe i'm just going crazy... I have my first complimentary check up tomorrow morning. They are also going to be installing the waste-gate clip for the rattle noise, which I also noticed after the first week or so.

I will post on the results when I bring it up to the dealer tomorrow. In the meantime. I've looked around and one forum seemed to have a similar sound described, and said it was also the wastegate rattle, just not in the typical 2k-3k rpm range... I'm just hoping it's not a finicky dsg/mechatronic issue with the clutch not disengaging correctly.

Golf VI R :: Slight Whirling Noise When Coasting In Gear

So today I got to 800+ miles and when I'm coasting in gear... When I get it to the point (by the gas pedal) where the transmission is not loaded so you can slide out of gear...(you guys that understand power shifting know what I am talking about...) I hear a whirling noise.... Whoo-Whoo-Whoo- etc...I hear it sounds near the clutch (guesstimating since its near the front/dashboard)

I would have to drive it another 500 or so miles to get home. No mods, started trip with about 300 miles... Did not use cruise control.. Varied speed around 60-90 mph to keep the rpms moving since there isn't a lot of mileage here... Idk what else to say... This is really bugging me... Never launched the car... And I did search, only results I got was from other parts of the forums saying wheel bearing...

Golf IV R32 :: 3rd Gear Grinding On Downshifts?

VW says I might need a new clutch. I have 85k on original. When are your clutches going? Do I need to change the dmflywheel as well?

i thought it might be a bad synchro. It only does it when warmed up and on downshifts. I can let the rpms drop all the way down before shifting and it will grind. rev matching i think still grinds. wont do it cold.
