Unhappy Rattling and dangling sounds while shifting gear 1st to 2nd.

I still have some problem,

While Im shifting gear from 1 st to 2nd, I hear metal dangling and lapping sound under my feet and seat.

If I shift very smoothly with luck, there's none.
but most of time, I keep hearing those sound..
I think something's loosend up,

What should I check with?

Sounds normal... You have an AWD car that makes noises.

The first to second pull sucks *****. Heres a tip - put pressure on the shifter with your fingers or the palm of your hand before you are ready to clutch in. As soon as you clutch in the pressure your hand is giving the shift knob should guide you right to you second gear synchros and it should go right in. Ive found the slower i shift into second, the crappier it feels. The fast I shift into second, the better it feels. At high rpm my car loves behing shifted, at low rpm the clogs feel mighty nasty.

that's what Im talkin about,
BUT !!

the thing is when my car shakes, there's something under my car shakes too!! I am guessing that is downpipe or chasis something.
they are lapping together, so it makes "tung, tung, tung" sound.

I must have kryptonite sycros because It shifts smooth and makes cool clamp noises like a strong tranny should.

Take it to the dealer and ask them about it. I don't get any noise when shifting no matter what gear. It is slightly notchy when I first drive it in cold weather but even then there is no noise.

Of course there is a normal whining noise at certain speeds but it has nothing to do with shifting gears.
