IS F (2008-2014) :: Belt Slip Noise In Manual Mode Shifting Above 5.5k Rpm?

Car is:

1) Warmed up
2) At a standstill
3) In manual mode, 1st gear
4) Traction control is on/normal
5) Sport mode is on/off (doesn't seem to matter for this example)

How to verify:

1) Hit gas, more than 3/4 down
2) Shift above 5500rpm
3) As transmission up-shifts a drive belt squeal is heard.
4) Car otherwise accelerates normally.

This happens on two IS-Fs I've driven, a 2009 and a 2010, with or without the AC on. Is this a common issue? If so, what belt is slipping?

Accent RB (2012+) :: Clicking Noise In Manual Mode In 1st Gear Coming From A Stop

I have the 12 Accent GL Auto, I have about 161,000 km, and recently say 3 months I've been hearing/feeling this click click noise come from under the car whenever I am in "manual" mode in 1st gear coming from a stop, now I`m 99% sure its not the brakes releasing because I just replaced both my caliper's in the rear and pads and rotors all the way around, And I know this sound because I've had the problem (twice) were my brakes stick so I'm very familiar with that sound this is something different, I want to say transmission because it only does this in 1st gear manual mode, but i know where the transmission is on this car, and this sound isn't coming from where the transmission is, more like under the firewall ( where the trans would be on a RWD car).

Cherokee :: Why Hvac Acts Like It Is In Recirculate Mode With A/C Button Pushed In Manual Mode

2014 Grand Cherokee Laredo. Wondering why the hvac acts like it is in recirculate mode with the A/C button pushed in manual mode. Have window cracked to force smoke and odors out of cabin. On vent mode it pushes air right out, in A/C mode it acts like recirculate is partially on and in recirculate mode it draws outside air in like you would expect recirculate to do. Trying to decide if I have something wrong or the nature of the beast. My GM vehicles do not act like this.

Golf/GTI VII :: Clunk When Upshifting And Downshifting - Constant Vibration In Front

After 11 VWs, I finally have one that I would love to drive over a cliff. My 2015 Golf TSI Sport is a miserable car for me. I have had it back to the dealer four times for the infamous "shimmy" and shift problem with the automatic transmission. It has the standard automatic. The transmission has no idea which gear to use, it shifts like a bowling ball in a barrel.

Clunks upshifting and downshifting. The other problem is the shimmy/wobble. I have it in spades. The car always feels like it is hitting small strips in the road with a constant vibration in the front. The dealer cannot find the problem even though VW is trying to figure it out. (I have a feeling this isn't the first time). It is the worst driving car I have ever owned. Would much rather drive my 04 GTI with 100,000 miles and worn tires.

Lexus RC F 2015+ :: Manual Mode Stuck In 5th Gear

I have only driven my car a handful of times, but I noticed the past two times, that it sticks in 5th gear during the time that the oil temperature finally gets above the 1/4 mark until it finally settles.

It doesn't stick before reaching the quarter mark, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't stick in auto mode. This doesn't sound like something that should be normal, but what say you?

Golf/GTI VII :: Slight Growl Noise During Upshift On Manual

On my mk7 manual, I'm getting a slight growly noise when I shift upwards, mostly noticeable from 1 to 2, a bit less from 2 to 3, and almost none from there up. Nothing when I downshift.

It's almost like a DSG fart, but much subtler. Happens for like a split second, just when I release the clutch, as if it the engine is revving up right when the clutch is engaging. But I know it's not engine related, because my RPM remains steady. Can it be the clutch slipping a bit before it fully locks? Not even sure if that's even a thing.

Sonata I45 (LF 2015+) :: Difference In Acceleration Between Sports And Manual Mode?

New Sonata owner. Got myself a 2015 Ultimate. Is there much difference in acceleration between "Sports Mode", and just running the car in manual mode (shiftronic)?

I know my Elantra used to have a huge acceleration bonus if I ran it in manual mode. Not sure if that caries true here.

Lexus RC F 2015+ :: In Manual Mode Hard To Upshift When In 2nd Gear?

Driving in normal mode and the transmission in auto. Once the car gets up to temp, (usually at a stop), move the gear selector to manual mode. If you punch it, I have not issues shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, but sometimes, the up shift paddle will need to be hit multiple times in 2nd before the car will shift to 3rd.

It seems to only happen the first time I go from auto mode to manual mode during a drive cycle. It happens on my car and another car I test drove.

Camry 2012+ :: Pressed Paddle Shifters While Turning / V6 Went Into Manual Mode

I have a metallic grey 2012 SE V6 Camry. While the car is in drive mode, not S mode, I accidentally pressed the paddle shifters while turning and the car went into manual mode. The blue lit display on the dash said D for drive, but it had the gear numbers next to it and I could down or upshift at will. In order to get out of manual mode I have to stop the car, put it in S mode and then back in drive, bc I heard u weren't supposed to shift bet drive and sport mode while the car is in motion. Is this normal?, How to take the car out of manual mode without putting it in S mode then back to drive?

Lexus RC F 2015+ :: PCS / ABS / Brake And BSM Lights On - Locked Out Of First Gear In Manual Mode

I was driving along today and my dash lit up light a Christmas tree. I got PCS, ABS, Brake and BSM lights and I was locked out of first gear in manual mode. Other than the lights and having to driving in auto mode, the car drove fine. When I got home I inspected the rear suspension and saw that the driver's side speed sensor's rubber shielding where it attaches to control arm was damaged. It was not completely severed, but there was a hole and some exposed copper wiring. I had SPC rear control arms and RSR coilovers installed and the car was lowered about 1.3 inches in rear. I was able to use extra copper wire and electrical tape to temporarily fix the problem. After all the wires where connected and shielded with electrical tape, I got zero lights when I started the car.

I'm not sure how it happened. Maybe the wire was damaged during install or it was pinched due to car being lowered. Whatever the case, make sure the wire is secured in a way to avoid being pinched during suspension travel. I ordered the new wire and will attempt to replace. Looks pretty straight forward except the wire goes into the interior of the car somewhere. I read that I will have to remove rear seats. If so, that should be pretty easy. Is there something I'm missing? Will any of the rear interior need to be removed? How to do this?

Golf/GTI VI :: 2012 Manual - Fluttering Vibration Noise In 5th Or 6th Gear On The Highway

New to the board- sold my b6 passat for '12 GTI manual.

Its been a few years since i've owned a stick so I'm not sure if this noise is normal or just because the car as 100 miles on it OR just because I'm a freak when it comes to hearing every little noise.

But when i'm say in 5th or 6th gear on the highway and give it some gas I hears some noise like a fluttering vibration noise for a second or two and then it goes away? It sounds like its coming from right underneath me. Its not a huge deal but on my first brand new car, I'd rather just have someone tell me its normal or if it needs to be fixed or a bolt tightened or something.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Switched From Manual Mode To Automatic And Car Skids 40 Feet And Just Stops

I'm driving home from work around 10:15pm and driving around 45mph; I switch my car from the manual mode to automatic and all of a sudden my car skids 40 feet and just stops. No lights on the dash, just completely stops and locks up the rear tires. I am in the middle of the road at this point and try to restart the car and put it into drive and the car just jolts forward and makes a grinding noise. I was still in shock at the moment, and a cop pulls behind me and asks me what is going on and I tell him the situation. He says he needs to call a tow truck to move the car. I brought it home and now I don't know what to do. The car is a lexus 2007 gs350 awd with about 104k miles, I don't think the car should just stop while driving 45 mph and come to a skidding stop.

Phaeton :: Gear Selector Into Manual Shift Mode - No Play Forwards Or Backwards

Got in the car today and moved the gear selector into the manual shift mode. Usually there is no play forwards or backwards. Today there was about 3/8 of an inch travel forward before the spring tension started. I'm taking the car in tomorrow to have the console latch replaced but was wondering why encountered this anomaly in the shift mechanism?

Golf/GTI VII :: Vibration Noise While Accelerating In Sport Mode

Hear a vibration kind of noise coming from the engine when accelerating in 4-6 gear at a lower RPM? It ONLY seems to happen in sport mode with the soundakator on. Normal mode it doesn't. I thought maybe flutter but I'm not flooring it in low RPM/high gear... even just halfway throttle.

I should say I have a JB1 and K&N drop-in installed.

Golf/GTI VII :: Engine Lugging Noise At 40 - 50 MPH In D Mode Fully Automatic

Mk7 GTI DSG is very uncomfortable to drive at speed between 40-50 Mph in "D" Mode. You can very clearly feel/hear Engine Lugging/Clutch slippage noise because the DSG slips in to 6th gear and the RPM goes below 1200. the noise become more pronounced if it is going up the hill or the A/C unit is on. The throttle response becomes really really slow. Clearly it is not in the right gear, use the paddle shifter to go down one notch it will be ok. So VW gives you two choices , drive like a maniac in DSG-S mode or drive like severely handicapped two legged tortoise.

It goes away if you are above and below the 40-50 mph range. Why would VW design a power train with such a serious flaw I cannot understand, considering all the small roads in USA force you to drive at that speed range. I did contact VW about this and the response is " it is as designed to improve MPG". Also every GTI reviewer in North America never mentions any of this. I just dont know what they review/Test drive, All are bunch of lap dogs and paid trolls of VW. How do i fix this annoying problem, I am afraid that this will damage the Engine/Clutch pack in the long run.
