ok started today when i'm downshifting, and i let the clutch out it, depending on speed, will determine how loud it is, it will make a "eeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" noise....

does anyone have suggestions on what this is?

 

if its a slight whining noise its fine

 

its probably like 3
-4.5k rpm when you downshift to the next gear, so i think its normal, does it do that when you upshift?

 

no its not the whine, i know thats normal this is some new noise

and only one the down shift i hear it almost like metal on metal

 

Thats the decel noise man. What was your mileage when it started???

It should go away if apply a slight bit of pressure to the clutch pedal while its doing it.

So throttle off in 3rd gear around 4,500 down to around 3,000 it should do it most of the way down the rev range with a few spots where the noise is on then off right?? and kinda sounds like a loose heat shield.

Search for a post started by me called "does your evo sound like this"

 

i listened to it....couldn't hear what i hear, mitsu said its nothing but found out my center g sensor is jacked so they ordered me a new one

 

Well that recording was crppy, but I hope your problem is fixable. Most of us with the decel noise ar stuck with it... for now.

Good Luck!

 

well i guess tis the decel noise...

 

I want to hear this sound in person sometime. Maybe more sets of ears listening at once will help. Or maybe i can grab a stethoscope from a tech at work and try to pin it down a bit better. Dunno.

 

I too have the dreaded "decel noise" that sounds like the exhaust resonating and vibrating a loose heat shield. Its been there since the day i drove it off the lot and I now have 756 miles on my baby. I have been assured by my dealer that there is NO official word from Mitsu on this issue, and though it doesn't seem to effect the performance or drivability of the car, it sure the hell is annoying.

THIS IS WHY THE DEALER WON'T LET US TEST DRIVE
