under what exact conditions is the noise heard and is it consistent?

 

I'll have to drive the car again and get back to you on that. I haven't driven the car in almost a month because of that noise pissing me off

 

i say pull the trans out and check for damage to the mechanical parts on the case (eg. fork, bearings, etc.). i think that should be a good start. take pics too so we can give you our input. at least we get to troubleshoot and see where the problem MIGHT be. if everything looks fine on the outside of the case, then it would have to be internal meaning you would have to crack your trans open and that's another story

but let's start somewhere and...TAKE PICS...because.........................



BAM!!!

 

Agreed! Post some pics

 

smells like TOB noise(knocking with clutch released) and possible input shaft bearing noise(low speed rock crusher like) to me.......like a lot of us are having lately

 

this is for sure what i need to take care of on my RA. i'm just trying to plan the whole thing and Garrett's been helping me out. i think he's preparing a list of parts (including seals, bearings, etc) for me so we can get started on it

we are for sure going to take a lot of pictures when we go through with it and we will post it up here. ONTARIO RA OWNERS ROCK

 

i already have a list of things and all the prices of what i wanna do as i replace those on mine...

but the problem is i'm not entirely sure wether i wanna do all the repairs(so i can have more down the line anyway, but @ least all the big things are done after this round of repairs), or just get a new car/suv of some kind...(as the thread i started about it says...my wife and i are having a baby and would like a bit more room...AND a clutch pedal)

so actually what me and my wife are debating is wether we want to maybe lease a new mitsu('13 outlander sport 5-speed), and then pay the rest of the refinance i have to left to pay on the RA(owning 3 cars, and 2 motorcycles - which are for sale now - in the meantime) then sell the RA when it's finished paying off...(and never fixing the RA..)
