My car has 6,100 miles on it, and i just noticed this today for the first time.. I've always though this 6MT tranny has been pretty crummy, but what do you think make of this?

Im going to take it in next week to have Inifinti take a look at it, but im sure they will just try to tell me its normal like they do with everything. Any ideas what this could be?

Here is a video of what im talking about..

any thoughts guys?

 

sounds normal to me, happens to mine too.

 

They all do that as they break-in...

 

I have the same sound but the car runs normal. I have 7k on mine.

 

That's what mine sounds like at 36K. I haven't had any issues yet.

 

Most likely they will just tell you it's normal, nothing's wrong, or it's just a characteristic of the car. A lot of us have that noise.

i think its your transmition , check with the dealer i had the same problem

 

well that sucks.

 

I'd still give it a shot though, bring it in. Just don't say "well, I read on the interwebs that this noise means I get a new tranny, kthxbai" otherwise they'll just discredit your case.

I think 1 or 2 people here have gotten a new clutch or something replaced because their dealerships were nice.

Dang. Sounds like the dual disk clutch in some of my buddy's trucks. If mine starts making that racket I'm taking it in to be replaced.

 

im pretty busy right now, but hopefully i will make it to the dealership within the next 2 weeks or so..

I'll let you guys know what they say.

 

i have the same noise let me keep us updated when you take it in

 

I have this noise as well. Used to have a 335i Sedan and it also had the same noise.

Looks like it has something to do with the flywheel and clutch combo on beefier 6 speed transmissions..

 

i have 6mt and have that noise too, all us 6mt'ers do. just nature of the beast. and yeah what he said ^^^^^^ thts what ive heard.

 

Its the throw out bearing.
