So i went to Infiniti...again! to complain bout that whining noise from the clutch...after all the naggin and bitchin...they decided to change my tranny fluids and go from there...3-4 days later they called me back saying they will be puttin in a new tranny...FINALLY! picking it up tomorrow...will update on any changes...hopefully its all smooth!

Southwest Infiniti(Houston,TX) finally stepped up...

 

what kind of noise is it sir?

 

Im taking my to the dealer Tuesday. Im having a hard time shifting into 3rd. Seems like i have to force it & it grinds when i get on it. Oh btw they charge you anything?

 

I'm in the same boat as well, but they keep saying it's normal or they can't reproduce the gear grinding. Let us know how this works out for you and maybe we can get a invoice number or something to prove that this a real issue.

 

Tranny installed...everyone knows that whining noise it makes when the clutch is released...they gave me a new tranny and that sound is gone...WOOOOHOOOOO grinding is still there though...but im satisfied with not having to hear that whining noise anymore

 

Hmmmmm.... west houston infiniti just brushed me off.... maybe I should go to SW to for help....

 

Well i had my dealer replace my rear muffler via TSB and i had informed them of my 3rd gear grind but they said everything seemed normal. IDK maybe il try another dealer.

 

can someone get a tsb for the sake of the world........like ombzzz

 

Engine falling out, that's normal because they all do it. Dealers will do anything to get out of warranty work.

 

yeah go check with Omar Chinchilla in service...

 

My 5th gear synchro was toast so they just replaced the tranny no questions asked! However, the car does not seem to be as powerful now and runs "quiet". It feels liek there is a block in the exhaust. Could an exhaust leak cause this? I also get a rattling under the car now when engaging the clutch from a stop.

 

I'm still not sure what you mean by "whining" noise. I'm taking my car in for more of a rattling noise that comes from the engine bay when I'm in neutral and my clutch isn't engaged. When I push and hold down the clutch, it goes away.

 

^^ Sounds normal, but take it in anyways

 

Does the "whining" noise pop up between shifts while driving? I noticed a sound when going from 1-2...sounds kinda like a BOV but faint. Thought it was normal...but now I notice it going from 2-3 as well.

 

squeek/woosh type of sound? That would be your (stock) intakes.

The Autos do it as well between shifts, and is easier to notice at low speeds with relatively high load. At high speeds, wind/road/tire noise will drown it out.
