Ticking\Chattering Noise from Engine area FIXED!

[Ben_G35]

update: i got the tranny replaced with the throwout bearing which is included with the transmission so i didnt get charged.. :-D .. they told me i needed a new clutch cuz mine only had 10% of life left, my car has only 35k miles on it no grinds or slips?? and they were gonna charge me 1600 for ACT clutch and flywheel or 2gs for stock, i didnt wanna pay that much so i didnt have them do that.. got the car back a lil over a week ago.. the noise is back!! its even louder now.. and its hard to put it into 1st and 6th gear.. never had this problem before so im thinking its the clutch so i just bought a new ACT clutch and flywheel for a member on here for 7bills :-D!! i jus got some questions for someone who had their tranny replaced before..

-was it hard to switch into gears at first?
-ive read alot where people who got a tranny replaced, also had to get the new one replaced too... what was wrong with the first tranny? why did it get replaced ??

thanks all!!

lol i told you it wouldn't go away

its just the throughout bearing's design i guess

i'm pretty sure it's normal and harmless

but if its just the throw out baring, y would the dealership replace the whole tranny, instead of just the bearing?

There's nothing you can do to quiet down these transmissions. The more you try the more fail you get and also you run the risk of making things worse. I got used to the noise back in '04 and learned to ignore it ever since. It hasn't gotten worse in the nearly 5 years I've had it, and it still shifts fine.

Well actually since I put the light flywheel on it's about 10x noisier, hehe.

Like I said, nothing you can do except spend money and fail if you want to to be smooth like a honda or toyota.

Its just sad that we pay a fair amount of money to buy these luxury sport cars, and they cant fix these damn chattery strannys, and vibrating interiors.

Agreed. I don't have any issues with the interior but the tranny noise I could really care less about as long as it shifts right and bones out

just get some nice ear muffs or never drive without the music blasting. lol

Holy sh*t I was just about to post this exact same problem, but decided to do a search before I did and good thing I did. I've been hearing the noise for a while now and was so scared something would eventually go horribly wrong. Its a ticking noise when the car is idling. When I press in the clutch it goes away but as soon as I release it comes back. Thanks for the info! I will head to the stealership on Monday.
