I am looking to buy this 03 coupe 6mt with 95 miles on it. When I test drove there are some strange sounds coming from the transmission. The gear stick also vibrates a lot in the lower gears.

The sound is like tuk-tuk-tuk. The seller saying that’s because of the new fly wheel he installed.

Anyone seen this issue? I read some forums about grinding transmissions but not sure if this is the same issue.

I would appreciate if you have any advice/suggestions.


Thank you.

How does it shift ? Any difficulty getting into and out of gear ? Notice any slippage ? Aftermarket clutch and flywheels are known for being loud and making a chatter sound .

Yes it shifts ok. I did not notice any slippage.

Did not hear any noise in fifth and sixth gears.

Could it also be axle click?

Vibration and noise coming from the trans when it shifts correctly indicates a worn out throw out bearing. Eventually if not replaced won't allow you to get in gear....Gary
