Ok i just got my shep tranny installed about two weeks ago. I just hit 600 miles onit so Iv just recently started to get on it. The only thing is that when I shift it kind of makes a bang or a pop noise. The first time I heard it I thought I blew a intercooler pipe off. Anyone with a shep tranny please let me know if this is normal. THanks

 

This should not be normal. I would not drive it until you can talk with shep.

 

thats not what i wanted to hear haha. It only makes this noise under a load though. Not during normal driving.

 

anyone lol?

 

Does it make the noise when its hot/cold? What are you using for fluid?

 

have you taken a look under the car to see if see anything out of the ordinary? talked to who installed it? maybe the clutch want installed correctly? I would for sure call Shep tho just to ask them what they think.

 

yeah im going to. It does it hot and cold. Im also using ams oil fluid. Idk im really scared I spent like 5k on the tranny , triple disc clutch , and install . This sucks lol

 

is it your rear diff smacking under the car? sounds alot like a rear diff smacking under hard shifts

 

Does the car pop out of gear? Does it continue to drive fine, just that pop sound?

If so, then these guys are right; it's probably just your moustache bar hitting the bottom of the car. Normal.

Don't shift so damn hard either. It's not a muscle car!! Learn to shift her without making that bang, and your new shep trans will last that much longer.

 

Billy it sonnds like the Rear diff its making the noise when your banging through the gears, Like a couple other people said they make an eliminator kit, or even a bushing kit to reduce or eliminate that sound

 

Yeah thats what I was thinking but it was never this loud before the tranny install. Idk maybe im just thinking about it morfe because the trannys new.

 

to be sure just call shep, cause for $5k job i would fly to shep just to get the advice in person lol..

 

5k guezz but i think he said that included clutch tranny and installation

 

Yeah that was for everything lol

 

how much was tranny by itself if you dont mind me asking
